Imagine a world of black,
Try see it if you can,
Try see the persons back,
Cause i am thinking a man,
This is how i see now,
Through blackness and thought,
Even though you don’t know how,
Rest assured it wasn’t self taught,
I cant drive a car,
Nor catch the bus,
All because of a scar,
It really wasn’t worth the fuss,
Welcome to my only known world,
Cause it isn’t easy to blend in,
the times i was nearly hurled,
they said i deserved the bin.
