A Lifes Battle

Today this old man told a story to me Of this frightened young boy, he once used to be Abused by his parents, ignored by his peers A little boys dreams became nightmares and fears His childhood was ruined before it begun You can't live a life when that lives been undone He struggled through years of self loathing and hate Always reminded, he was his parents mistake Bullied through school, tormented at home Friends he had none, he had felt all alone He survived through his teens, such a terrible time Though ended up being involved in a crime The memories of this, still haunts him today But the past is the past, it's back in the day The present is now, the future's untold Gracefully now he'll begin to grow old Spending what time he has left in this life With a woman he loves, who now is his wife This child that was broken is now a strong man He fought for his life and now I'm a fan
