A man without a past

Once a fool
Nothing more but a tool
Picked on and hated
But not decimated

That was the past
What once was no longer has to be
This is the present
What will come no one can predict

They said you're future's bright
All you need to do is stand alone and fight
Well that's what happend and look at me now
A strong man, who is weak somehow

Seeming confident is a lie
A lie I must keep up
To keep up the lie is to keep up my life
Taking that lie away would break me down

Still you insist,
your future's brighter than mine
I say, focus on your own life
I'll try to survive through mine.

What's the point anyway,
All that mattered is taken away,
Sure there are new things
But a man without a past, is a man without future
