Do You Know My Name?
WILLIAM EDWARD CHILDS
Do you know my name?
Have you seen a trace
of the despair
that's hiding there
behind the mask on my face?
So I hide my scars
where you cannot see
but do you see a trace
of the girl I used to be?
I am inside of a world that hates me,
that tries to destroy me
my humanity.
It's been five long years
walking on these streets
the neon lights
contrast the darkness
of my soul.
He told me he loved me
the child in me believed him
but that child has gone long ago.
Now, I'm inside of a world that hates me.
But it won't destroy me
I will be free.
