Cursed Existence


A black sheep from birth regardless of blood Written in time Conjured from fear Yet I prevail the given path I see past the hatred and malevolence Wounded from birth I carry a weight on my shoulders beautiful souls Ruined by the world Alone beyond the wall not by choice but by fear Someone will appear? Why me?
