pain is there

Gregory Ramos 1961 (Azusa)



pain is there
for the pain is there so i feel
i know for the cut is real

it covers the past like a blanket
for if i don't cut i won't forget it

tried drugs and alcohol
but they did not do anything at all

thought taking my life would help
but they ended up saving this whelp

i had nobody who could of saved me
when i told i unfortunately became a detainee

started getting crafty with each cut
pin strip lines, art somewhat

now i am 58 and my life is new
don't know, how i grew

but i was able to talk about the abuse
and in my heart i made a truce

i was able to forgive the predator
and fall in love with my creator

not saying that this will work for you
but today i am nobodies fool
