Wounded (Angel of Sadness)
Since my birth
I’ve been stressed with qualities to test my worth
As far as I can remember
Been given life from an unknown sender
A few ticks of time so tender
Now I need your arms around me
Incase I don’t survive as a deliquesced juvenile
I’m pasting my progress on an off white towel
No fear, I swear I’m not giving up
It’s just become so hard for a child to smile
Around every corner, obstacles await my appearance
Down my forehead, the rain stings like clear ants
Foster parents label me stubborn, good for nothing
Things as a kid, we never understood
Lain across the carpet, heart beat jumping
Mother, I now need your arms around me
So much learned from these trials
My task to never look back
No questions asked, just carry on for miles
Incase I should perish with the wind
In my finale, you should cherish my end
You probably never knew
That as a heartless individual, I’d feel this way
A bitter model on his feet
Yet he stands on his heals this day
My lovely strangers, I now need your arms around me
