Memories still hurt [Zen]

I remember my parents used to call me ugly
I remember their stare cold and distant
How worthless I felt even though I tried
My brother would hugged me and craddle in his arms

But as time went by
I remember seeing his disappointment
How his friendly eyes turned cold
He used to tell me my dreams were mere illusions
Those were the times when I cried myself to sleep
Am I just an extra from God's stage play?

But my dreams were strong
I escaped from the prison called home
I wondered in the city
Chasing my dreams
Wondered under the shadows of the night
My addictions became my best friends
Alcohol and cigarettes everyday

Insecurities piling up like bricks
A wall between happiness and myself
Every step wavering
What would people say?
Am I talented or am I just a pretty face?

I was lost but I found my way back
A spot of light in my world of darkness
People who were my saviours, my friends and encouragement
They gave wings to my dreams and hope to my heart

Looking back at the bitter memories
I always ask myself
Do I regret the path I chose?
The answer is clear now
No, I don't regret following my dreams
