Other side

I walk into the room
You don't have to scream, I can hear you
Bad trip, the needle sticks, you get your fix
From confrontation
I try to make it past
I don't want to get into it right now
Can't this family have one day to get away
From all the pain


And through the night I see the light
Shining from the neighbor's window
I dream of life where I'm safe
In a home where I am not alone
Someday I will lay me down on the grass
Where everything is greener
It always seems so good on the other side

I'm sick of all the heat, you can taste the hate in
The air, running through this family, uncomfortably
It's killing me
Is anybody there? In your eyes there's
Nothing to see, just because your dreams
Have died, don't drag me down, I've still
Got mine

    Random thoughts of life and family as you know and see it. Very well written, nice flow and deep meaning. The grass always seems greener, until you get there. Secrets behind close doors are in every family, so more then others but still there. May you soon find your peace and understanding. This is really a nice write.
    Lovely work, best to you!
