Hatred

CC BY-NC
Home was a conered cage A sound of metal is heard when in rage The family contributes to this parade Rage were heard but not my sorrows voice Everyone's emotions sounded better Die I in the house of madness

Im a seventeen year old who had a passion for writing since the 4th grade I thought it was going to take me somewhere seeing that I was the only boy who couldn't play sports who was born with a soft soft voice and remains misunderstood I have spent my childhood trying to escape every comer of it yet still I have gotten nowhere I still have big dream like making children's dream come true and going to America
