Nowhere to Turn

by JL

Walking to school
Hold my head up high
Ignore the rude remarks
I look to the sky

Standing alone
While everyone chats
Tried to fit in once
Everyone left when I sat

Returning home
to a 'loving' drunk
A few hits later
My spirit has sunk

Go to sleep
bruised and hungry
Scared to look in the mirror
Afraid of what I might see

Where do you go
When you do not belong?
Where do you hide
When you are an outcast?

Awoken by screams
About how I should die
I run out of the house
And look to the sky... (nm)
