When Everything Else Fails

I know, you know, it isn't right
To blame everything on everyone
Your every answer is not alright
What you got was what was done

Point your fingers at a teacher's F
Point your fingers when you fall down
Scream and cry when people laugh
Hide your face within the ground

Let tears flow when your heart starts to cry
Not everything was meant to be
Clench your teeth when a boy waves goodbye
Tell yourself, "he's not the one for me"

Sleep away the pounding of your father
Dig into your sheets at night
Forget the woeful cry of mother
Hug your pillow nice and tight

Plug your ears as curses ring
Let them drift from your tired ears
Forget what horrors tomorrow will bring
Free yourself from childhood fears

When everything else seems to fail
Unable to hide from everyday blight
Then grab a pen and let your heart wail
Now's the time for you to write
