The Falcons of Perry

Location

As I walk down the halls of my humble abode,

Everyones smiles look depleatd and scorn.

A Princess who is this years 2014 prom queen,

A criminal who is bastardly and obscene.

A Jock who is 4 time captain of the wrestling team,

A Shadow of a damsel in distress who is never seen.

 

A change is coming and I'm going to stand,

One by one holding hand with hand.

A change is coming and I'm going to stand,

Come one come all every woman and man.

 

To see everyone for who they are really made of,

That is the change I want but never have seen of.

 

Some drugs at this party,

Sex with a different man at another.

Is this the kind of life i see for my little sister?

A man with a black eye,

Broken ribs from his father who wants him to die.

Is there any escape from this life ors this the same troubles my bother will lie about?

Vomit dripping from his chin,

The straining sensation in his heart because he was never a natural in the start.

Everyone sees a champ but if they see the way I train will it give their hearts proudness or train?

A nuse in her closet,

And rusty razors in her drawer,

Last night she tried again will her terror ever overcome and demand more?

 

A change is coming and I'm going to stand,

One by one holding hand with hand.

A change is coming and I'm going to stand

Come one come all every woman and man.

To see eveyone for who they are really made of,

That is the change I want but never have seen of.

 

Atlast I've come to the final stand,

What do I see in myself that can change every woman and man?

I am the one that is shattered and depressed,

one man next to me another on my chest.

I have done my rounds and seen the other side,

But I'm done with this rollercoaster it's been one hell of a ride.

I've cried and laughed,

screamed until I gasp.

I want to see a change in my fellow classmates,

But the first step to change begins with the removal of my mask..
