Hostage

By- Citizen_of_hell





I don't want to be here, I chant.

I want to leave but I can't.


Some say it is a tradegy to be somewhere you don't want to be.

But maybe it's just me.


I feel like I am going to combust.

In this place where your dreams are crushed.


You want to sort me into a category.

Making me feel like I'm just another sad story.


This place is hell.

But no one beleives us when we tell.


In here you are defined by a letter written on the top of your paper.

You make us feel like failures.


It is so hard to sit still with all the injustice 

We are disgusted.


It makes me so sad.

It makes me so mad.


I start crying.

But I keep trying.


I want to fight 

But I cant.


I want to kick and scream and run but I cant.

It is aganst the rules to get out of your seat.


You are hurting us and you don't see 

Your killing me.


You might not use your rulers anymore 

But you use your words.

That's why we all be running to the drugstore.


This place is sucking the life out of me.

My heart is like a tree.


And it has stopped beating

Yet I still keep breathing.


I just want to be somewhere else

This place is worse than those belts.


You call it life

But we say death.

That's why we're turning to the meth.


You wonder why we are killing ourselves.

You seem confused.


You try to blame it on the others but we all know the truth.

You are destroying the youth.


But we will keep silent 

And let ourselves be killed inside and out.


What can you do when no one will listen?

Nothing.


You choose not to hear our screams

Even as they tear apart our dreams.


It is a tradegy to be somewhere you don't want to be

So please hear my plea

And set us free.
