Unnoticeable Disfigurement

"Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week." - Spanish Proverb

A man, too good to be true, scarred for life
In his rush, hit a truck and lost a leg
And then spilled more tears over his departing wife
His love for her: an unnoticeable disfigurement

Children threw stones at him, to check if he could run again
As he limped his way across the lane
Crutches as support, matters were worsened by rain
His courage against the odds: an unnoticeable disfigurement

From his increasing loneliness, no one could save
And in a dusky night he hanged himself
People exclaimed how weak he was over his grave
His struggle for fairness: an unnoticeable disfigurement
