In a Place

I’m in a place where I feel lost

Hoping somehow I will belong

Give me a reason to hold on

This life of mine goes up and down

Like the carnivals merry go round

Spinning constantly on an axle

Where people are both cruel and thoughtful

Everything will take you by surprise

So stay awake and keep an eye

People think there’s a prize in life

But they don’t realize it’s all a lie

Sometimes perfection is what they want

As if it comes by the month

I’m in a place where I feel judged

Cause so many times they hold a grudge

Although people tell me I’m not

I’m not stupid or a thot

I’ve been used before and dropped

And sadly nobody has a clue

About the shit that I’ve been through

That I’ve been broken and abused

So people take advantage of who I am

Because they don’t truly understand

This in all honesty is really sad

I hope no one else comes here

This is a place never to go near
