Steve

I should not have gone to the store that day

I should not have gone that way home

I should have walked away that day at the park

 

I am scared

Imprisoned Ii feel, imprisoned Ii am

I cannot scream

I cannot yell

Otherwise I’ll be the one outside of the cells

Getting punched, kicked, where no one can help me

 

I feel so alone

Like I’m the only one here

The guards don’t care if one is screaming

As long as no one escapes

 

I feel like no one believes me

When I say I wasn’t wrong

But that doesn’t matter much

Cause I know what i know

And I know I’m innocent

 

Everyday i fall asleep to muffled screams,

Cries, people getting beaten up outside

But here I am,

All alone,

Where no one believes me

 

I should not have gone to the store that day

I should not have gone that way home

I should have walked away that day at the park

This is not home

Harmon
