Another statistic

by MJ   May 19, 2006


Got this 4rm chicken soup
thought i t was really good

I dont want to be another statistic
some suicidal teen
who makes a choice to kill herself
when the world just seems too mean
she can\'t go on with life
or so to her it seems
reality has fallen short
and so have her many dreams

i dont want to be another statistic
some pregnant girl
who met this great guy
and then gave sex a whirl
she was only fifteen
but it felt so right
she thought they\'d be together
for mor than just a night

i dont want to be another statistic
some kid strung out on crack
who started at a party
and now he cant turn back
first cigarettes and alcohol
now meth, crack, and cocaine
hes been smoking it so long
that now hes gone insane

i dont want to be another statistic
some girl left in the rain
who was walking home from sckool
than raped and left in pain
she cant tell her parents
and it gurts to tell her friends
she doesn\'t know what she\'ll do
to make this nightmare end

i dont want to be another statistic
some kid out of sckool
who dropped out really early
and was acting a fool
he thought that it was dumb
he doesnt have an education
but lives on the streets like a bum

i dont want another statistic
some sterotypical teen
im gonna make a difference
ill finish with my dream
i won\'t end up pregnant
on drugs or even dead
i wont drop out of sckool
because ill use my head

i dont want to anoter statistic
to fit into some mold
of what society thinks of kids today
not all of us are good
when will the world see us
and give us credit like they should?
