Born in innocence

Born in innocence. Family sin and shame is hurled upon thee No hope or reserve in sight Shadows of doubt and shame Thrust into the world to survive No hope or support Met with embarrassment and failure Looks of disgust and disgrace No family to turn to Only turned backs and sounds of silence Fighting for a chance to live Living turns to fighting for love Love turns to regret and fear Fear turn to hatred and anger Anger turns to rage towards life and love Shame comes back into play Only to repeat the cycle Born in innocence Family sin and shame is hurled upon thee.
