Oh mother, what have I done?

I have done nothing to deserve this.

From every punch to my face

To every cigarette pressed on my skin,

I've done nothing to cause me to sin

I wondered,

What it would be like to never go home.

I once dreamt about a day

I continued to walk astray.

Never turning to the left,

Nor turning to the right,

Never turning around,

Ignoring every sound

I cover my ears,

Then comes out the fresh hot tears

Never wanting to feel the same pain,

Why would I fight when there's nothing to gain?

Should I give up?

Should I keep the dim light of hope in my heart?

Should I try to escape and run away?

Or should I stay here until my body decays?
