I woke up at
The wrong time again
Mad for a minute
Trying to settle back in
When I get to school
It’s cool, but I’m still sick
Don’t even know if
My clothes still fit
Time passed as fast
I live with pain
My life has changed
The things that happened
Cause me shame
As day turns to night
Night becomes day
Born ready to fight
My fears hidden in shade
The world’s in darkness
