“Ring of Scars”


Tears of pain and tears of fear.
Love has never entered here.
The pain starts to attack me.
And they scar me terribly.

The pain makes me cry all day.
I suffer in every way.
I never get any gain.
And I cannot stop the pain.

The memories of my past.
Time has gone by very fast.
I was just a little man
when my life first hit the fan.

From Sixth grade, my life was low.
Today, the scars of pain show.
Ring of scars are on my heart.
Scars show from the very start.

When I was a little boy,
my life was a big decoy.
I was cut and I was burned.
With these scars, I’ve slowly learned.

Tattooed pain on my body.
These scars will be stuck on me.
Everyday, I grow a scar.
The number has grown by far.

When I think about my past,
I see scars that hurt me fast.
Memories of all the fear.
I wish that the end is near.

I will never find some love
even with faith up above.
Looking at the peaceful stars.
Then I see my ring of scars.

Scars of nine years full of lonliness.
Never have I felt true happiness.
One day, I will get a scar so deep,
I’ll be put to an eternal sleep.
