The origins of my scars begin and end with you. 
You took me in to cast me out only the best would do.
You built an attempted image, wouldn't even let me cut my hair
You broke me and beat me, in your favourite chair.
My blood it stained the carpet
that time you broke my nose
I still have the memory
what ever gets me to sleep goes
My eyes were always blackened 
foundation on my face
a thirteen year old man, who could do make up with grace
beaten at the school house 
because you paid the kids
You covered your own self
but left me too the fall
You told me I was too weak
that I must be toughened 
but it was you who was the weak one 
Your twisted mind a disgrace 
When I told the family, they called me a liar
And I got beaten and left in the briars
When you speak to me, disgust is all I hear
for you broke my mind so much
I'm still dependent on you
When you lit that accelerant 
burning all my skin
You left a mark you could not hide
And here we go again
There rests a bullet in my hip
And it belongs to me
It's the one thing that I can say
You did not do to me
financially unstable 
And mentally worse
You broke me down and beat me 
until you could get rid of me.
at 13 I was kicked out, on Christmas day 
You gave me a lump of coal
I looked at with dismay.
You broke my confidence forever
You took my heart and soul
And now I sir wish you to die
For this world nobody leaves alive
everyone tells me, you only get one mom and dad
but I guess I must've hit the jackpot 
I got two it seems
For neither pair wants me
one doesn't know about me
To others family is an anchor
tied to the shore
for me it was a wildfire 
that left open sores
I have only my poetry
no friends in sight at all
For i am just a broken man
still healing from it all.
