“You”
 
Feeling like
your
up against it
an angry world
looking back
your only breaks
are promises
broken
the bitter truth
rammed down
your throat
your not afraid
the slaughter
continues
another day
that’s pushing
black
you’ve seen the
worst
it’s what your
taking
you try your
best
you still get
hurt
you can’t give
up
won’t shout
surrender
the road your
on
goes nowhere
new
the words she
said
but nothing
spoken
another death
attributed
to you
your sky is
dark
without a
reason
your not
concerned
your friends
are few
the life you
have
is overrated
a rainbow’s
born
each time
you lose
you tip the
scales
in the wrong
direction
you show your
heart
you just get
used
your better
times
you can’t
remember
the past you
hide
is haunting
you
the things you
thought
once really
mattered
were left
behind
when you
were you
you’d buy a
chance
but lost your
token
too many
lies
your time
is through…
