Unhappy

Older and Wiser than most,
yet stuck in a child’s body.
Ugly and Useless,
filled with Anger and Contempt.
Treated like I don’t belong,
afraid to stand up to my Tyrants.
Why was I born like this?
Why couldn’t I be Happy
And Love myself?
My face filled with Scars, 
forced to cover it with 
Face Paint.
I am forced to live each day 
Sad and Depressed.
I am forced to live each day
wishing I was stuck in 
another Body, another Soul.
I am cursed to live the rest 
of my days in a childlike body,
a Tormented soul,
an Angry and Contemptuous persona.

Excellent imagery but so much pain. I hope that writing alleviates your confusion and distress as mine does for me.
