~just a child~

                                
In Reform School I did dwell, trading one Hell for Hell, heart broken by first love.

Put there by a mother's love a mothers never ending fears and flowing tears.

Now I know where you are, I hear. Thought it would be best for a few years.

My heart and soul just went dead, endless time will be spent at hard labor.

Time passed away my mind went numb, excepting a prisoner's humdrum.

We labored everyday till it got late. There was others that shared my fate.

Get beat up! Weak and strong never get along. Working hard becoming strong.

Now the bullies will sing a new song. Big dog eats big dog that's the game.

One by one they went down I smashed them all to the ground! Now I finally rule.

problem was it got me more time to do, the weak are safe and our privileges too.

Repeat the day then the month watched the seasons turn into years.

There were no tears, heart like stone, eyes went dead, words just echo in my head.

Of the life I once knew I couldn't get a clue, time fades the mind it was all I knew.

Lost love long ago only pain I would know. They just would not let me go.

Call it karma call it fate finally came a date A big fight broke in the hall.

That I had nothing to do with at all. Sent to a prison higher I burned with desire.

For freedom I would never see what will become of me. Shackles and chains.

Every dog has his day finally freedom came my way after that?

I'll tell those tales sometime now that time is mine. ~Duke Deltree~
