They Ruined My Life

I was a rock star, loved by all,
After all, I had been always impressive,
Alas! One day patches appeared, some big others small.

I tried erasing them but the number got massive,
I hadn’t abhorred my body ever before.
After all, I had been always impressive.

Why wasn’t I the same adorable person anymore?
I bellowed as my friends now shied away,
I hadn’t abhorred my body ever before!

‘God, free me of these white marks,’ I would pray,
‘Friends, don’t shun me,’ I still whimpered,
I bellowed as my friends now shied away.

The dreadful Vitiligo left my morale severed,
I couldn’t forget they called me hideous and weird,
‘Friends, don’t shun me,’ I still whimpered.

Though my parents told not to bother about how I appeared,
Yet my despondency advanced at a crawl,
I couldn’t forget they called me hideous and weird,
Alas! One day patches appeared, some big others small.
