living with this legacy

it made a headcase out of me

that´s why i´m not

your coup of tea

i´m stripped of all

my dignity

i was never

good enough

so the beating

got quite rough

it´s all coming

back to me

living with this

legacy

there´s a p i

in my mind

there´s no trace

that he can´t find

scars and bruises

will appear

insecurity and fear

where´s the will when

there´s a way?

where´s the boldness

when i pray?

abuse will

generate abuse

remember this

as you accuse

rats give birth to

rats alone

replicas and

tiny clones

evil procreates itself

and infects

the mental health

talk is cheap

but death is free

freedom from

insanity

until then i´m

bound to be

living with this

legacy
