Narrow hallways
As I walk through these narrow hallways
Memories will come back of former days.
Now it is all gone to my amaze.
This reality feels as nothing but a haze.
The people I cared about are gone
Feeling as though brutally beaten with a baton.
Being nothing more to anyone than a pawn.
No purpose for being
Is all that my mind was seeing
Heavy the burden weighs
As I tread through these narrow hallways
As I walk these halls of the same hue
No one will see what I have gone through
Only will they pass with a vacant stare.
No emotion fills the lifeless air.
To stand out, not one would dare.
Now rings the intensely loud school bell
Through the place that turned into my hell.
At night he kneels down and prays
Please take me out of the place with the narrow hallways
Peace when the world is turned upside down.
Would make most show off their frown.
Then go off and melt-down.
Though, I am choosing to fight.
To turn my darkness and turn toward the light.
Then living with myself would be easier at night.
In the end, these steps will lead me right
Through all of the black and the grays,
Ahead, my hope and faith lays.
Just outside the doors of these narrow hallways.
