Studio Apartment
Darkness beneath,
The torn and tattered sheets
You lie awake,
And feel the walls shake
As again this year,
Christmas ends in tears
And with all the gifts,
Your life just shifts
Cuz Dad's job kills,
And Mommy can't pay the bills
So you just lay and weap
Cuz you just can't sleep
But you swear,
You'll one day make it out of there.
