A Child Like Me
Do you know how it feels
To wake up worried if you'll make it home ok?
Do you know what it's like
To cry yourself to sleep every single night?
Do you know how it feels
To wonder if you're mother is going to abandon you today?
Do you know what it's like
To stress over whether your younger siblings will eat or not?
Do you know how it feels
To go to sleep hoping everything will stay calm?
Do you know what it's like
To call your dad and have him ignore the phone?
Do you know how it feels
To lose your own parents to crystal?
Do you know what it's like
To throw away your own father's needle?
Do you know how it feels
To barely make it through the day?
Do you know what it's like
To come from a shattered home?
Do you know how it feels
To blame everything on yourself?
Do you know what it's like
To be a child like me?
