aching and shaking
my insides rant about
wanting to run
with nowhere to go
shall I run away
to where no one loves me at all?
or shall I just stay?
I would miss my brothers and mother
so much I would surely die
I think I will just stay
surely something will change
I can take some more
and then when I can't; I will go
My heart yearns to run and run
far away from this hell-hole
my wisdom tells me not the thing to do
stick it out here where I am needed so
telling my mommy did not help any
and yelling it out did nothing
so I held on til I could no more
and stood alone and so tall
