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
