In this world of menace and mayhem
Where shame is your blame
Famine your fame, your existence a game
Just know, that you need not feel ashamed
For shame is not your name

When the burgundy spots on you face
Is why people look at you with maze
The reason they gaze is there own amaze

They look at you and they see themselves
Like an item on a book shelve
Hiding under the cover thereof
Because if when exposed, your life will seem
greener than their greenest grass

Your existence of bruises and chaos
Is their future of desperation and depression
Their fancy cars and nice clothes
Is their hiding place for their own oppression

Where apprehension is your expectation
Your embrace starvation and misery
And when your passion is burning for a better life

Just know, that beyond your own limitation lies opportunity
Beyond the margins of agony lies your true reality
Beyond the boundaries of non-existence lies your true existence
Beyond the unnatural lies your natural appearance
Beyond the shady lies, lies your truthfulness

What seems black-and-blue, is not true
What seems dark is the light
What seems hurting is happiness
What seems hopeless is hope
What seems scary is daring

All camouflaging in the opposite
Waiting for you to discover and dispose
The true meaning of a meaningful life, your life
Your birth was a triumph, success is your destiny.
