Another Day

Overprotected,

Often neglected, 

In a house full of noise,

Kids playing with their toys,

And I'm just one of the boys

while they got so much to enjoy.

Pretending I'm unaffected

by the social disconnection.

Forced to go when I want to stay,

and to stay when I want to go.

Going 'round trying to find my way

back to happiness, and even though

they say all of this is for my best

what do I do when I wanna beat my chest

and put all of these thoughts to rest. 

Is this the pinnacle of childhood happiness?

Wake up, get dressed, 

rushed to school

where they tell me I'm just blessed

in the head when I'm a fool.

Sleep through class,

rushed some more.

When I get home,

it's "chores, chores, chores!"

Afternoon, sun shine

wasted away while I'm stuck inside.

Ring-a-ding! It's dinner-time!

What's for dinner? Well it's covered in slime.

Day-to-day, I walk door-to-door

in my mind just lookin for

that place where I can go and roar.

Let loose my feelings; hide behind this door.

But now the sun's rising, 

It's time to awake.

Feelings or no feelings,

it's just another day.
