Scars make the stars
Prior Past has Imparted impacts and passed
Shapened as a result of cicatrix on the body and mind
Having gone through wildness and easeness
From the very first day of the journey
Having been made from the dungeon of feaces
Sandals of struggle have started bruising the joints.
Being bred with butterless morsels of bread
With four battling for a piece of meat
And six in a roofless unventilated room
Where the probosis of mosquitoes is midnight companion
Got so many stories to tell
Left to many ears to hear the riddles behind the scenes.
Hmm, truly, stars can't shine without darkness
Now on the road to stardom
The badges of scars on the battered faces
And placards of goodies cravings on the innocent hearts
In the pursuit of achieving the unprecedented achievements
And at the brink of doing the undone.
Still unknown, the direction of life-trajectory
But the bearings hopefully will be made evident
Now I know that scars make the stars.
