A time of innocence could not be the savior
To my world crumbling and falling apart. 
Many say seek His word but he ignored my prayers 
As I begged to find peace in my heart. 
While everyone else my age lived to be happy
I stood in the mirror, finding new imperfections. 
Sometimes I would cry in the shower, uncontrollably 
Cause with my discolored chest I should been stressing. 
Every year when I blew out the candles on my cake
Followed a wish that I looked more normal. 
Eagerly going to sleep only to awake
To the disappointment that everything was the same. 
I made it up in my mind that my parents were why
I kept my head down most my entire childhood.
They birthed the creature I see deep in my eyes
That the world would burn if they could. 
There was nothing anyone could tell me
That could have eased by torture. 
Every compliment fell to the waste side
When I saw myself in the mirror.
