Your mother
Curses the day you were born
Your father
Gave you up
Your brothers
Never glanced a look at you
You were haunted like a dog that did wrong
Like an animal
You’re only so lonely
Scared boy
Because brave souls don’t live inside these walls
Born different
Imperfect
Never felt the mother love
Your scars are not on the surface of your skin
They are deep down in the core of your heart
…and now you are marked, boy
You’re only so lonely
Scared boy
Because brave souls don’t live inside these walls
You’re only so lonely
Abandoned
Your death was the only escape
Now there’s gun pressed to your chest
And now you’re losing wind…
