My Mistakes
I'm here now because of me.
a 10 x 10 room is all I see.
Day and night I watch my back,
because compared to these people, muscle I lack.
Most of these guys are completely nuts,
like the one who almost stabbed me in my gut.
I'm very scared I don't belong here
and when I get out I promise to stear clear.
Of this foggy road of problem after problem
all because of my town a wannabe starts from.
Now I don't consider myself a poser
but I sure do have a head on my shoulders
Hopefully awaiting a possible bail date
sitting here writting on this steel plate
In this 10 x 10 room for only little more time
Mom and Dad when I get out I promise to shine!
