The Price of Dreams

There's only so much I can do,
I have to give something up...
Just to leave.

I'm only around to go to college,
That's all.

Lately I'm thinking that's
No where near this toll on my heart.

I'm going crazy:
From my forced silence
From the verbal slaps
From emotional torture I feel...

You won't believe me
If you saw where I was.

You'd say that I was being
Ungrateful,
A brat,
A bitch,
An ungrateful, bratty bitch.

But listen.

Material items
Doesn't mean that my family
Cares nor loves me...

It's used to shut me up,
No family,
No college...

This is sick and twisted,
But who cares...

It's the price I have to pay
....
to dream
