Just Another Number

February 3, 2015

I'm just another number

in the governmental system.

I'm just another

out of neglected children.

I'm just another number

out of the beaten and abused.

I'm just another number

that has to find my own way.

I'm just another number

that struggles through the day.

I'm just another number.

I want no pity, I feel no shame.

I'm just another number

playing this messed up game.
