Growing Bet
I sit here all alone
In the black room at my home.
The worlds out there raising fear
I can’t make it another year.
They told that I can make it
I’m hiding here because I can’t take it.
Scared of what life has planned
I want to grow up and be a man.
I hold my self back
Into my room
My parents are gone
They won’t be back in till noon.
I sit here wondering what I should do.
I want to make it and be loom
Only should I take that step
On that ground that is up next
To my house, this is bet
I have made and I must have kept
Only now do I see the future
Am I heading in the right direction
Only the future holds my reason.
