Take a step back from your life.

Look at the world with objective eyes.

We all have issues that are bad but

for some each day brings a new demise:

"Don't you dare say my name

because you don't know who I am.

Don't you dare look at me like that.

No, I won't say yes sir or yes m'am.

"You think you have troubles.

Each day makes you feel sad.

Well you don't know anything

try living without having a dad.

"You want to complain about how

the day's strain hurts your back?

Well how about not having a mom

Because she's too addicted to crack.

"If you want to say something, say it.

My fists will do all of my talking.

I'll swing away at you with all my might.

From a fight you'll never see me walking.

"I'm sorry I react in such a crude way.

But anger is the only way I can react.

Now they've kicked me out of school,

because they say I know not how to act.

"Now people think that I'm an animal;

That I need to learn how to be a man

and control the beasts inside my soul.

Caged up but that's not part of my plan.

"My grandma just doesn't get it

and I just know neither do you.

You don't know what life's like with anger

How one word can make trouble ensue.

"The old man that is my male figure,

is just a senile man that watches me.

Don't you dare lay a finger on my things

or you'll set the animal inside me free.

"So judge me all you want, I don't care.

I'm just an eight year old trying to survive.

My world has spun without control

each day since the first I was alive."

The kid just looks at me with angry eyes.

He says I know nothing about his story.

He's right, I don't, and I thought I had it bad.

Now I'm praying in bed glory, glory, glory.

Open my eyes and shed light to his story.

Glory, glory, glory...
