Poetry: Scars

by L. Landrum

Created on: October 04, 2009

The life I lived should never have been
What you did you know was a sin

As a child I knew not then
As a child I hated you within

You tried to extinguish the fire in me
With threats of violence no one would see

Yet here I am and I am free
And you now mean nothing to me

My fire is bright and I strong
And guess what I got along

My soul intack my mind is great
and for you I no longer hate

A pathetic excuse you have become
Your entire life a zero sum

And now your old and they treat you bad
Oh well you reap what you sowed you crappy dad
