The stamp of failure is on my face
The brand of shame is on my eyes
The sign of rejection is in every place
 
I’m a foreigner in my own country
I’m a stranger among my own people
I’m an outcast by my own family
 
My sorrow is too great for it to be spoken
All my faith and dreams are shattered
There is no hope, nothing for the forsaken
 
You broke my heart in two
The moment you said you didn’t care for me
I stopped caring for myself too
 
Your subtle rejections cut like a knife
The damage is irreparable
You have scarred me for life
 
Just because I didn’t live up to your expectation
You should have still loved me as a father
All I ever wanted was to love you as a son.
