How 'bout you?A Poem by Ria24This is when I started to get frustrated with life and I wanted to let it out
How 'bout you?
What we say, what we do, is not of use, why is that true? I'm tired of being a slave, how 'bout you? I wanna run away, how 'bout you? Treated with care when we were small, what about now? Do our lives matter at all? Girls expected to be the woman of the house, men expected to be the strongest of them all Can't you see, we're not what you want us to be? I'm tired of being a slave, how 'bout you? I wanna run away, how 'bout you? Everyone's got their secrets, big or small, whats the matter? Do you not care at all? Help me, I'm dying inside, oh wait, nevermind, I might destroy your pride It seems like a monster has gotten hold of me I'm tired of being a slave, how 'bout you? I wanna run away, how 'bout you? Protecting our siblings since we were small, dealing with everything, tempers and all Learning to fight at such a young age, never expecting that we would get away Seeing the horrors every day, wondering if the world would ever change I'm tired of being a slave, how 'bout you? I wanna run away, how 'bout you? So how 'bout you? Do you wanna stay or do you wanna run away? Trying to learn by day, never expecting that we can change Doing the best we can, never enough, then why bother? We'll just be led astray What's the use being alive? We just have a lot on our minds I'm tired of being a slave, how 'bout you? I wanna run away, how 'bout you? Surrounded by demons, trying to keep them away, fighting them off with every beating we take Not wanting to explode, hang on, don't worry, it'll get worse Horrible things happen every day, wondering if we will help it change I'm tired of being a slave, how 'bout you? I wanna run away, how 'bout you? © 2017 Ria24 |
