Shuffled like bureaucratic paperwork From desk to desk Status "UKNOWN" Second hand clothes Second hand love Second hand child Words like knives Razor sharp Cut to the bone Dreams of mother And father Lost Cry to sleep Every night Years on end Washing own clothes Age of 6 Ran away Signs of affection Bruises and welts Didn't want the scars to go away No voice raised To defend Only child Every year New school New kid, no friends Every year Sent away Status "UKNOWN" Pain endured Pain hidden Pain denied Broken trusts Broken heart Broken child No T-ball No boy scouts No father Lost chances Lost dreams Lost hope Labeled "The bad child" Angry child No one to tell No one to trust No one to love Now a young man Who could not feel Loved Women knocked On locked door That I would not open Who could love Such a worthless person So ugly, stupid and weak Pain of loneliness Was a darkness That brought hatred of the light Cigarettes, ***** and drugs Helped to hide the pain But not the suffering Emotions turned off Like the flick of a switch Feeling nothing anymore Ran hard and fast On the razor's edge Of life Angry at the world Justice is just a word To lie about the truth Fought the demons Like boxing fog Never landing a blow Took many years To break the chains To find the light Sometimes the pain Burns deep Tempered steel Gave up the blame And the hate Too heavy to carry I see the destination now Though the path is hidden Status, no longer unknown
