Was It Wrong
Was it wrong to steal?
Was it wrong to lie?
Was it wrong to cheat?
When you could no longer stand defeat?
Because I had no food
Because I had no cloth
Because I had no drink
I had nothing
So was it wrong to steal?
Was it wrong to pretend?
Pretend that I was good?
That life was good?
Would they have helped if I asked?
So tell me
Was it wrong to steal?
Was it wrong to cry?
When you could no longer try?
What else could I do?
Where else could I go?
I ain't sorry
I can't apologize
I do not want to
*middle fingers up*
Was it wrong?
