I Live

People don't understand my pain I hear anger is weak over and over again They just don't know how i live That i have to give all I can give If I don't than I shall Die And not one person will even cry I live in the bad part of town Thats the reason I got down I see it happen everyday A friend of mine dying, I hate it this way I fear for my life and my mothers I must protect her from others If I lose respect of my friends That is when my life ends When someone actually understands me That is when i might try and listen to what they try and make me see
