To become a man...

When life is harsh and lets you down,
When life seems cruel and makes you frown,
When all else fails and no one's round,
Dont be afraid and tumble down.

It will only get better if you dare,
To walk it through with hope and flare.
The pains may seem too hard to bear,
But grit your teeth and press on there.

And when you reach that fated end,
You will now find that you will tend,
To stand with pride amongst your friends,
Because you have become a man.
