The past is littered with pain and hate

This was a child's harsh and cruel fate

He was left with scars that will never completely heal

As a reminder that the pain he felt was real

These scars he has are deep

And count the nights when he would hide and weep

From his father he was hit

His father's anger seemed to be a bottomless pit

His mother screamed and yelled

Happy memories were never withheld

The boy was never understood

no one ever thought they could

Until one day

some say

That his father was found

guilty of a crime and sent to the impound

And the boy was taken away

From his mother and father that same day

But the scars where still left behind

On his body, heart and mind
