Never-Ending Scar

Born into a family that’s poor of heart
Raised in physical and mental abuse
Pain and sorrow that I had to suffer
They called it love I’m totally confused

Not being good enough to die
A shattered heart of despair
Feeling like I don’t belonged
Wondering if anybody really care

Why was I even born into this
How could this happen to me
What did I do that was so bad
If I’m guilty please hear my plea

Wondering were did I go so wrong
Knowing I need to change as I grew
For all the suffering I went through
Cause pain not love is all I knew

I went through a lot of ups and downs
And was in many different relationships
I had several different lover and wives
But only a few very close friendships

Now that the kids are grown
And have kids of their own
For the first time in my life
I’m don’t feel like I’m alone

I know that my kids are scar free
So now I can get on with my life
Enjoy the happiness that I missed
And love for the first time my wife

For I know that dark secret
That had been living within me
The painful never-ending scar
Is going to die along with me.
