No one knows how much pain I have felt,

And no one, save me, knows how much pain to others I’ve dealt.

The pain I’ve caused cannot be measured

For I have destroyed the thing they once treasured.

Now they have no trust in others,

Not even in their beloved mothers.

Never will they have a wife

For they don’t care enough about their life.

I only blame one person

Who couldn’t care less about his father’s only son.

I don’t blame anyone but myself

Since the only one I cared about was myself.

It took me far too long to see the light

So that maybe I just might

Have been able to stop myself from causing even more pain

It may be too late but I see now there was no gain.

All I did was cause others to fear

Me and hope that I was not near.

I don’t want them to turn out like me,

Because there is no end to how unfair that would be.
