SCARS
This is yet not another balderdash
But the memoirs of a life treated so rash
Twelve minus one and I was landed a scar
A tremor struck that dimmed my star
My mother, Adeola just passed away
As she for another child paved a way
Adeola breathed her last, said goodbye
The newborn boy didn't breathe his first
Father's symphony rewritten to agony
He winced to pain in synchrony
And even now my own world began to swelter
I knew better than to try to recover
Calamity has struck, I began to quiver.
And this was just the beginning......
