How Much Farther

You walk for miles

But it's not enough

You do it for smiles

But you only get a scoff

How much farther

Do you have to go

To gain honor

And a face to show

Taking detours

Only make it worse

You lose your path

You forget your worth

How much farther

Do you have to go

To make your life fuller

And redeem your soul

No matter how far

They will never know

So just hide your scar

Don't let it show

They only see success

Some may not, but I digress

Just keep your smile

And go along for a while

Some day they'll see

That you've gone so far

And how ashamed they'll be

To know who you really are
