Painful times i have had
Times when i never thought would be glad
Ideas which tore the heart a new
Have happened to me times a few
Amazing how things which may seem
Trivial now, burnt like on a fresh wound kerosine
Little incidents in a child's universe
Haunt me now like a curse
I remember the time when i was a child
Ready to grow and face the wild
I learnt about death and hate for the first time
Filled up my heart with grime
I saw them treat fellow men like beasts
Throw them food, and not give them treats
Sit on the floor you poor beggar, they would say
Always haggle for the price, and never pay
I'll tell you of the time when i left my folks
I was all happy , cracking jokes
Now that i think about it, it was a sad day
Had no connection with anyone in a tight way
I lost my best friend to the war in afghanistan
That day, i hated most the taliban
We were tight , were gonna have love abound
But God did not allow him to stick around
When people i respected fell in grace
Their hypocrisy made em fall flat on their face
When trust was broken, pride polluted my friends
These are the most painful of trends
The day when my gay friend was found dead
Lying overdosed, in his bloody bed
No longer could he handle the ridicule and abuse
May no one have to walk a mile in his shoes
More painful days i have not had is a lie
But i plead to you, do not pry
Not ready to talk about those i am for now
Those bridges will be crossed someday, somehow.
I do declare the worst of all
Was when i truly understood my fall
When i realized that i cant do anything to match
All the sins my soul does hatch
it was so painful to recognize
Fall from the pedestal in my own eyes
See the grossness of my own soul and mind
Where in here can i beauty find?
My only hope is to grow
In better examples and put on a show
Share the love been given to me
And the message which set me free
