Abstaining from the sun,
Basking in the night...

Everyone looks at me differently.
some with fear and some with pain...

I can't believe what he told me,
as I sat and started to cry...

Punishing these children,
for each and every mistake...

I used to be able to tell you anything,
and I knew you would understand...

Head resting on feather pillows
sheets crisp like paper...

I never thought our friendship would end,
but we continue to drift apart...

Today the clouds came marching in,
the ugly colour of brand new tin...

You've locked me in this cell,
a million times before...

Stuck in a world where money and power mean...
and greed is a common flaw...

They think I can't hear their comments,
as they carefully lower their voice...

It takes a lot of guts,
To write what’s deep inside...
