I can remember the time, almost a day ago when your unkindly words added to my woe the lightest of days and the darkest of nights your words echoing in my nightly sight I strive to carry on, starvation falls fast if deprivation appears-will these sights still last up and down, on the merry go I go round the music blaring loudly yet I cant drown out the sound I'm here, I'm yours but now I've gone again what would it take for me to remain the blemishes, the scars, the knife in my back helps me keep my footsteps along the right track I hear, I see, I do what I'm learnt but I think that enabled me to get my fingers burnt I lived, I saw, I've done all I'm taught but alas all my trials have come to nought I move forward, I move back, I rise and I fall, would there be any open arms to catch me at all
