You made me what I am today
So I have you to thank
From childhood to adolescence
You shaped me, formed me; joviality shrank

Teaching that anyone can betray
You are the one that showed me the way
Always looking ahead and behind
Never knowing what I will find

I'm always running, hiding
Into a seclusion that is binding
Dearly departed from innocence so strong
****** into the world of hatred so long

All these years later
I am left wondering how long...
How much longer will it be until
I can emerge from the darkness that is wrong
