As man of your complexion The world around Constantly betrays you Even the women who are unknowing To your struggle Perception is a mother* born in a different type of social and physically light You could never understand the hype And they could never understand your life At young age neglected by your mother because of your fathers transgressions But still you long for her affection Her eldest She loved you but not as much as the next ones Still you struggle for her favor Months and years go by no waving away You got the brunt of the emotional abuse from your father neglecting to stay Physically assaulted Emotionally lost Spiritually awkward So the truest form of love you fought for but it was foreign two decades passed Now you just starting to know it Just another unguided child grown adult through the pain of the smiles They could never understand you or your thoughts out loud You speak of pain only because you know it so well True happiness was never found so you reside in this hell Question aRose about the savior Looking for something proven Sign your name on the dotted line Extremely intelligent but they try to play you stupid On the road to finer things you lost so much Longing to live a decent life but emotionally and spiritually it cost so much They say what's understood could never be explain With no more tears left how do you explain the pain
