Words of an Acid Attack Survivor

I cried and sighed for days altogether,

My life was veiled and didn't seem to get any better

A burning face and a history so bitter

Life said never, for a moment of pleasure 

A curse for a day, spite for a second

Hell was here and bound around

All my strength was drained out, and down

A drop of acid had now made a permanent frown

When should this all end? With my life and esse?

No, I said, with a firm and vibrating press

I won't give up, I won't compress

Just a few more days and life will caress
