if everything i do is wrong.
if everything i say is wrong.
is anything i do right?
maybe when i grow up i'll learn what its like to be appreciated,
what it feels like for someone to be proud of you.
family is suppose to be love.
were is this supposed love at?
friends say they are there for you but when one is really needed no one is around for you.
your alone in the world.
everyone wants to get out of a small town and be something greater.
i only wish to survive a few more years.
trapped on the inside.
i watch time move by quickly.
realize when i get out of here...
i will make myself proud and be my own person with my own voice
