I knew what everyone thought
Whenever they saw my scar
'What happened to him?'
'Ew, he's so ugly.'

But no one ever
Stopped long enough to find out
That my father was abusive
And my mother ran away

That my brother died to save me
And my sister didn't care
That my father smashed my face
Into the side of the fire place

That he held me there
Until he could smell my flesh
Burning away from my face
And I could no longer scream

No one's ever stopped
And wondered
That maybe I was still there
Beneath the scarred tissue

To afraid to come out
Only to be shoved away
Left to be hurt
Lost, and alone

My father's in jail now
My mother's still gone
My brother lies in a grave
And my sister's all I've got

But now she's married
To a man like my father
And as I sit here hiding
In the closet of my room

I know its the end
But I can't feel the fear
Beacuse I'm about to see
My brother again

The only thing that crosses my mind
As the door flings open
'Maybe now someone will stop
And wonder where I've gone.'
