[hometext] => Well this was bottling up inside me...glad i'm about to get this one off and out of my chest...no rhyme scheme, but i always do freeform!
[bodytext] => 3 hours to midnight Stuck in a car with 3 men Coming back from where i've been All Spring break of course, Now let me tell you how i've been living my live for the past 15.99 years... Constant Ridicule Endless suffering Being treated like a fool Always being called stupid names and being the "outcast" Moving around every year...changing homes more than a man changes his socks... In this car, People dont drive so carefully 2 Hours to Midnight They drive like morons or even like they're drunk and stoned chances are, they are drunk and stoned and whatnot but why not take that chance, after all you might just get your birthday wish 1 hour to midnight Now also understand where i'm coming from I've never had a birthday wish come true... and if i'd gotten my 16th birthday wish, I wouldn't be typing this right now i would be being scraped off of I-88 somewhere between minnesota and Illinois 10 Minutes to midnight Tired of the ridicule...tired of being the "outcast" I wanted to put an end to all of this madness Finally start a new life or just not have one at all, But you see, there were no birthday candles The essential element of a birthday wish Had i had a candle, maybe it would've come true I closed my eyes and 5 minutes to midnight Tried my hardest to think of some way to get myself killed tonight But then again, stuck in a car with the three stooges is enough isn't it? Panting at the wonderful thought of how only family would care about the one they've lost and even close friends would brush this off of their shoulders like the good friends they've "always been" well sure MIDNIGHT and yet still, here i remain...untouched... so much for the birthday wish...
