I've been working so hard <br />With nothing in return. <br />It makes me wish I wasn't here, <br />Makes me wish I wasn't born. <br /> <br />Remembering the days <br />Filled with smiles and sun, <br />Makes me wish I could leave, <br />Makes me wish I could run. <br /> <br />Wandering blindly <br />Through the constant repetition <br />Makes me wish I'd fight back, <br />Break away from tradition. <br /> <br />Day after day, <br />I don't see any changes. <br />They treat us like animals <br />Locked in steel cages. <br /> <br />Someday I'm going <br />To get out of this place. <br />No more of this nonsense, <br />No more getting chased. <br /> <br />Once I leave I'll look back <br />To where I was once controlled. <br />Beaten, whipped, and abused, <br />Like a spiritless soul. <br /> <br />I'll feel the wind in my hair, <br />And I'll walk on ahead. <br />Dreams of the new <br />Are in my head.<br /><br />Ronnie Cava<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/makes-me-wish-i-could-run/
