Back in residential

Back when I was in placement

Back in residential
People still actin mental
I need to just do me
Be strong
I know I won't be here for long
Out of everyone else that's gotten taken away
Well I'm in the best place I suppose you could say
I have to go day by day, or I just won't make it
I can't even think of any other day
My heart just won't take it
The only thing keeping me sane is knowing s**t isn't changing
It's staying the same
You'll do anything you can just to get a buzz
Ya'll really gotta watch out for the fuzz
They're really coming down
I'm tired of looking like a clown
Not even 18 years old
Already I can sense that this world is so cold
I need something to pull me through
So Ill remember you all, whoever else gets locked up too

This has a good message between the anguish that is felt in the writer. It is about taking it day by day which is really all you can do! It's like in AA and other 12 step programs.
Good rhyming. Also, keep writing, it's therapeutic! (If this is about you or someone you know)
Thanks for sharing!
