In a world of unfairness, in a world of despair

You know you fit in but you just don’t know where

With your pink and black sneakers, they’re lost just like you—

And  your watch, and your dignity—now they’re all gone too….

They don’t hear what you’re saying, they don’t look at your face—

Or else they would know you need out of this place

The pain and the heartache’s just too hard to see—

I know that because it’s just too hard for me….

They ignore all your needs still, despite all your tries

They go on with their business, won’t look in your eyes—

They have broken your spirit—they’ve knocked out your fight

And you ask and you ask how’d you get in this plight?

But I know that you’ve lived now through all kinds of weather

And I know you’ll rise up from this stronger than ever!

I love you mom and I’m sorry.
