I was just a kid

Looking back
As I was just a kid
In my torn shirt
And a baggy short
And I thought
I was alright
But the whole world
Is looking at me
Differently
As I had no clue why
What can I say
I was naive back then
Nobody was there
To show me the way
I’ve always thought
Black bruises
Waiting in the rain
In no warm clothes
Running and hide
Beaten down
Mouth clammed shut
Eyes filled with tears
And screaming
Were the way of life
Because of you
I found my way out
Around every corners
And I dodged
So many bullets
And I looked back
I was just a kid
In my torn shirt
And a baggy short
And I wasn’t alright
