Scarred For Life

Born into this life
A child in a world full of doubt
Rejected as an orphan boy
Torn from his mother's side

Dogmas were thrown in his way
Obstacles from which to pass
The pain his soul endured
Has scarred his body fast

Defiant in an angry heart
Stubborn in his ways
Determined to reach his goals
Though numbered are his days

Lost within his mind
Emotionally disturbed
Abused throughout childhood
Wounded deeply beyond words

Submerged in hate and fear
Neglected by all around
Affliction was all we had
Lost and never found

But then something snapped within
And turned him inside out
To survive, his life had to change
And mend his wounds somehow

Rebellion against authority
To conform, he would never submit
Punished by society
Upon their face he'd spit

Scarred for life
Wounded deep within
Healing this bludgeoned soul
Must somehow begin

Often cry out in the night
Twisted into delusion
Crawling into the light
Scarred for life, scarred for life
Scarred for life

Locked within his mind
A solitary prison cell
Depression fills him with despair
Falling to the depths of hell

Alone in a silent rage
The final hours near
Desperate in his insanity
He cries out but no one hears

Anger consumed his soul
In a violent state of mind
Destroying his every thought
Soon running out of time

Lies, he soon believed
From voices in his head
Confused in chaos hour
Wishing he was dead

Torn into this life
A child in disarray
Blasphemed upon his soul
A victim of his ways
Scarred for life, scarred for life
