My feet are torn and broken
Flesh screaming from the outside
Every step is a misery
My hope has joined my pride.
Mentally I’m missing
Gone with childhood despair
I’m not homeless because I’m an addict
It was the beatings I couldn’t bare
Now my only comfort
Is the responsibility is my own
Though he may have got my mind
My soul has turned to stone
So don’t walk past and pity me!
Don’t look at me with those eyes!
Don’t smile sympathetically!
Don’t pretend to not hear my cries!
You have no right to judge me
When my story is not known
I will shout from the rooftops
I will never return home!
