I scarcely know my origin
A story was told, having it all
I have no plans of my own
From the death of my papa while doing,
...
the barking dog for a father was worse than none
luxury given by a dark heart was only poisonous.
the chilly nights in the street could go unfelt with a brother to hold
...
A cursed womb is the befitting appellation
A womb that carried a generational curse,
Wrapped in the image of a normal fetus
He who became a world problem to be solved
...
I won't ask for too much here,
I won't put the load in any one's shoulders
Not by force, only those who want the same
As "I" shall take this from my lips
...
I'm a wretched lover
I have started to live in despair
I hope it makes you feel better
Because you didn't hesitate to leave
