Am tired of the noise
It was so much better at school
I had purpose
I had friends
I had tests
I had boys who wanted a taste
Now it's vac
And am back
Back home
To the poverty
The yelling
And the stress
All the demons I tried to forget
They're here to haunt me

Am tired
You told me I was young
Too young to drive
To young to try
To young to try
To smoke ****
To stay out late
To play too hard
To get laid
But now all of a sudden
An old enough
To make these choices
These hard decisions
To leave home
To get into college
To be ALL grown up

Am tired
But as you can tell
Am not really tired
Am afraid
Am terrified
I just wish I was in high school again
Am tired.
For when you're afraid and you don't know who to ask for help
