COMMON

I still feel overthrown by all this words I fail to learn. What little I can understand are only whisperings of a common man.

I still feel the storm coming in, I don't remember when I felt as small as I feel today, these are only the complaints of a common man.

I've been left alone; I've been kept in the dark from all the things I need to be a man.
I've never felt so small and I've never felt so "in between" worlds.

If you believe I'm behind every shadow and around the thoughts in your mind, these are only the wishes of a common man.

I've been forgotten again; I've been a well kept secret for as long as I have known.
I've never realized that I am as common as the next man.
