I hope I’m dreaming
All I can hear is screaming
That’s why I’m telling you
I don’t know if I can do
Anything right
Maybe I should walk towards that light
I’ve been through a lot of pain
There has to be something to gain
But I can’t find it
And I don’t know how to fit
Into the boxes I’m supposed to check
Sometimes my life feels like a wreck
My parents think I’m fine
But really I’m walking a fragile line
One wrong move and it’s all over
I’ll need to find a quote to cover
To mark my grave
And really, the only thing I crave
Is to be accepted
But my mind has been intercepted
I don’t know what to do
Or where to go
No one knows what I’ve been through
Or how I’ll grow
But hopefully this isn’t my last rhyme or line
On death row
