My Dark Past!!
The more i attempt to smile
The more my heart starts to cry
The error of the past filled my head
Making me feel so shameful
Facing the world is another discomfort
They laughed with me
But drool at the mentioned of my name
I’m an abomination, they say.
The more i try to ignore my past
The more it hounds me
The picture of the past
Flickering through my eyes
I see light in the physical sphere
But my soul is filled with darkness of the past
Had i know! Had i know!
Is now my major language.
