Stoic Man

entry picture

A stoic man I want to be
To be in charge of my destiny
Live in the moment with liberty
Give me a break and set me free
A stoic man I want to be

Walking down a road with no direction 
Just need a little love and affection 
Dreaming of a world that is okay
Maybe I'll find it one fine day
My heart is broken and I am down
No smiles from me just a frown
Just need a a star to guide my way
Shine your light on me that's okay

A stoic man I want to be
Time for change yes siree
I was blind but now I can see
Just fill me up with love and glee
A stoic man I want to be

The world around me is falling apart
Lost and alone don't know where to start
The past it haunts me the futures unknown 
Like a nomad this world I roam
Life and living is a mystery 
I'm just another victim of history
I am a prisoner of my mind can't you see 
Please release me from my misery 

A stoic man I want to be 
Our life is what our thoughts make
Very little to be happy just take
You have the power for goodness sake
A stoic man I want to be

Thanks Uilleam for your comments. Marcus Aurelius is my inspiration now. 🙂

I'd settle for that.
From what I’ve read, a stoic believes that the practicing of virtue(s) is enough to acheive a well-lived life. the four virtues concerned being wisdom, courage, temperance and justice.
Go for it Tom!
