Analysis of Gauze
Look at me I have some scars;
I don't like the way you are
bound to leave me right here dead.
This gauze on my face leaves me
ugly as leprosy, I hate to admit,
But I don't want to be ugly.
I am a strong man, one to succeed,
Serving everyone in need, with
shelter to disengage stress.
I will succeed without a doubt,
And there will be time to believe again,
Just not right now...
