Somebody Hear Me

Blinded by experience & I mean lack of Trapped in a neighbor-hood that feels like a cage Isolated in my small room releasing tears & rage Imagine life on the wrong side of a 9 or 12 gauge Imagine momma getting money in shameful ways Imagine me doing nothing wrong & getting beat for days Imagine in the cabinets just sugar & Lay's Imagine me only 10 wit more stress then grown men Me born in this world thrown into sin Imagine me wondering why my life is so different Other kids smile more why is my life so different Clothes I don't have many & friends I have none When Dad go to work all he takes is a gun See Dad's not a solider & moms not a saint I've seen good people so I know that they ain't There just mom & dad I'm young & sad Praying I get all the love I deserve and never had T.B.T
