Could This Be You?

Life has always seemed to be some kind of zoo,
Wild friends fill your head with peer pressure, not knowing that you do it too,
Parents are divorced, 
Mom seems to be a witch of course,
Could my life get any worse,
Life's stomping me down so much it makes me want to burst,
No room for counseling parents are so distant from me,
I'm left with no choice but to find what I want from the streets you see,
Yeah, I get into trouble every day, so what no one seems to care for me anyway,
Nothing but negativity fills my head,
Sometimes I wish that I was DEAD, dead to the world, dead to me,
Nothing but nothing can fill my heart with glee,
When happiness shows her face to me she quickly runs away,
Well I don't give a CARE about HER, she's weak anyway,
When I see her with others, ooh it just INFLAMES ME, 
Why can't she be with ME like them, but it's al right, I'm OK, 
She'll probably break my heart like hardened clay.
Could I Be You?
If I am stop to think about life, what do you want and need, then take heed and 
listen to this planted seed, love, peace, comfort, and safety are some of the 
things that you seek, learn your thoughts and feeling sand then you'll take control, 
your life had been like a terrible play but this time YOU TAKE the best role, 
change the way you think about your situations and then you'll start to glow, and 
then you'll see that what you reap is certainly what you sow, I know lifes been hell 
it's not hard to see, because that person, once was reflected as ME.
