No One Knows


Misread and verbally beated Unloved and mistreated Alone and unneeded No one knows the way their river flows Always ignored, the pain grows Invalid inference Made by ignorance When time is only the difference No one knows the way their river flows Always ignored, the pain grows Made a loner Became a stoner Faded like toner No one knows the way their river flows Always ignored, the pain grows Left the world how they came in Except the pain was within Buried in a square thin tin No one will ever know The way their river flowed Their brilliance remained in code But their pain was revealed at thle end of the road
