(189) Gettune Land
Through all the roses and violets,
Threw bloody red lips and bruises,
I am made to grow old before
My childhood has even begun.
My adult life has endured pain
Drew academic ascertain
Often in pursuit of knowledge,
The learning process cause blindness.
Long enough to realize how dark
Our existence can tunnel smarts
Collected inside the bubble
Study room we recall trouble.
I left home to broaden myself,
And not be stereotype dwell.
Forgive me my past and look out
For my future cause my present
Don’t want it! Pain, hurts, the good life
To endlessly slip mad on days!
I want you to want me today.
What must I do to make you stay?
