Almost...


inFAMOUS
“The reports of my utter demise have been greatly exaggerated…”

It’s amazing sometimes
We try to change our predisposition
But the core of a person never changes
It’s set from our inception

I walk through the crowd
Hearing whispers from afar
There he is they say
He’s the one with the terrible scar

Heard them speak about
My life’s strange journey
All of the BS I’ve been through
Is just a blur to me

I don’t expect them to understand
Or even to comprehend my struggle
The smile I flash is a ruse
Just masking the emotions I juggle

The fiction is unbelievable
But my truth is even worse
The stories I could recount
Would spawn an epic verse

I have to stand strong
For myself and my future life
Enjoy the time I have left
And not endure more strife

Not all wounds are visible
Sometimes we keep them concealed
It’s better to keep them that way
Cause pain comes when they are revealed

So I’ll continue to live
In spite of all that’s occurred
Refusing to be a victim
By living a life that’s deferred…
