THE WALL FLOWERS
Location
I am the girl that is permanently stained
There’s more to sex than giving birth and STDS
Sometimes if your lucky you’ll still have your prince charming and be a drop dead beauty queen,
But if you’re not, you’ll end up like me: You’ll lose yourself within the dream
You’ll forget to smile down the halls
to lift you’re head up when they call
you’ll go numb inside your head
wondering what you did wrong
when you’re a kid there’s no such thing as love…
I wish school would teach me how to be strong
I want to fly up high where the stars and the moon collide
to forget this feeling that brings me down
its always there …a knot in my throat
I was just thirteen pretending to be grown
I am the boy with no father and a drug addict mother
the class clown that always gets in trouble
but a hardcore music lover
there’s more to me than pranks and laughs
there’s cries of pain and the question “why?”
Sometimes if you’re lucky you’ll still laugh trough the breeze
but if you’re not
you’ll end up like me
you’ll forget to care from being ignored
and you’re teachers will wonder why you’re such a bore
but they will never bother to ask
they’ll just send you off to class
to detention, suspension, and even to the end of the world,
I wish school would teach me how to be strong
I want to fly up high where the starts and the moon collide
to forget this feeling that brings me down
its always there a knot in my throat
oh ignorance is such a whore
I am the smartest girl in school
I dress in black and listen to tool
I get picked on by all the pretty girls
…they push me around until I’m sore and leave little hateful letters for me after school
“hey freak…come and play”
if you’re lucky you’ll stand your ground
but if you’re not you’ll end up just like me: scared all the time ,and bloody wrists and tights
I wish school would teach me how to be strong
I want to fly up high where the stars and the moon collide
to forget this feeling that brings me down
its always there a knot in my throat
I wish I knew how to seek help
School teaches you math, science, and writing
But it never teaches you how to deal with emotions
Or deal with the pain in your shoulders
Were all just kids learning to cope while growing older
