Convinced my existence was fraud
A product of lust mixed with violence
I'd immediately lost my way, in the din
I'd been cursed with guilt
My birth announced with pain
I heard the screams aloud
Still wet, still cold from the event
My path forward was forged in regret
A heart rent in sorrow, a burden
I saw that life was not a gift
To find my way I had to discover
Life is not a guarantee,
Nor is it a promise
From solid stone life must be hewn
Carved by chisel and by hammer
To live well, our past must be forgotten
We must strive to live a life that is new
Aside from every lesson taught
To escape a future that is wrought
Destiny and fate are lies
Discover and seek the truth
