Denied belief
Denied relief
I scarred myself
My hate to keep
Refrained from peace
Restrained and leashed
I cried out for well so deep
That I could cast
That I might last
Within a pit of murky hope
The light grows dim
The plight within
Makes me sear my childhood soul
I prayed for help
I prayed for self
I shivered and I called your name
You recognized the self-despised
And then you turned
Your face away.
