I am me
Nothing more than a teen
Everything I’ve been through
Is more than you’ve ever seen
I wish I was okay
I wish I wasn’t like this
I wish my brother didn’t die
I wish my dad was still alive
I wish *AJ was at home
So that my cousins weren’t alone
I wish I wasn’t born
I wish my family wasn’t torn
I wish my grandpa didn’t hurt
I wish my grandma saw her worth
I wish I didn’t run
I wish *Lil was here so we could have fun
I wish I didn’t make you worry
I wish my vision wasn’t blurry
I wish I could tell you sorry
I wish I could mean it
I wish handcuffs didn’t fit
I wish I wasn’t addicted
I wish you understood
I wish you understood that I’m only thirteen
Getting counseled by some dope
I wish you understood that I’m broken
Broken so much that I just can’t cope
I wish you understood that I’m hurt
My own mother wasn’t even there at my first
I wish you understood why I act the way I do
But every time I explain you ain’t seem to have a clue
I wish you could see that this is who I am
All my feelings and my thoughts spilled out through a pen
I wish you knew that I tried to be good
But I feel you knew all along that I could
I wish you knew that I’m thankful for your help
Now I go to sleep curled up in my cell
