Do I dream
Of a day when again
I may gain

Today I’m moving forward
And a little more toward
A place I once was
With only one cause

I, I am the reason
All else is treason
To lay down and die
Is to live a lie

Some forty pounds ago
I was stronger you know
Before seven years went by
I refused to cry

Never again I say
Never again shall I lay
With a maggot such as that
And that’s a damn fact

So off to the races I go
To rebuild my body you know
For the mind is sure to follow
A so far from hollow

Be the selfish I say
Or you too shall lay
And your body will waste
And your life lose taste

So go now and be strong
Learn to carry on
For you were not wrong
To have moved on

So like a well oiled machine
I shall go unseen
Into the light
And out of sight

For that which works well
Upon, the eyes do not dwell
Instead they move on
To the next thing gone wrong

And so happiness I’ll find
In a world so unkind
By simply blending in
And by forgiving sin

So drive your demons back
Drive them into that crack
From which they arise
To meet their demise

Be strong once again
And you too shall gain
The understanding of the wise
Who rarely do summarize

The lessons learned in life
In overcoming strife
And doing what’s right
With all of your might

You shall learn the rewards
Of a life moved forwards
Rather than be left behind
Where the sun don’t shine

For here the tin shall rust
And your life turn to dust
So tin man move on
Into a new dawn

Awesome poem, I like the them of this one.
