Hidden inside
lost to the world
thinking to myself
there must be something more
than a siren screeching
in the dead of night
chasing some guy
deciding to break the law
to feed his children,
his new born son,
and dying wife
There has to be more than
kids sitting in classrooms
unable to speak their mind
or think for themselves
because they aren't
"mature" enough.
I've seen the people that punish them
and they're twice as bad as the kids.
There has to be more
I think to myself
and beg it to be true.
There has to be
that place over the rainbow
where Dorthy in The Wizard of Oz says
the blue birds fly.
But how do we get there?
A siren screams
down my street
louder than me
as I cover my head with the pillows
and scream to the darkness.
It hurts to feel so much,
what I wouldn't give
for someone to love me
hold me close
and pry the gun
out of my hand
for I long to die.

- Thank you. It's one of my first poems I've typed up in a while so I was worried about how it'd sound...
