[hometext] => isn't is always greener on the other side, or maybe if I were given more grass I'd be happier. no this doesn't have anything to to with drugs
[bodytext] => These city wall confines I just can’t stand them They’re there all the time And I can’t pretend That they’re not holding me back My future, my present, my past They’re all here and I can’t let it go They all hurt and I can’t let anyone know I can’t pretend These walls don’t affect me I can’t pretend I don’t have bigger dreams I can’t see Past this spray painted concrete You just can’t see What the other side means I NEED to be over this wall I was born on the wrong side Without those opportunities I’m so small Without that my spirit dies You just can’t see If I were over there How happy I’d be If I didn’t have to be scared To be myself On this side I’m a misfit On the other: a free spirit Free to do what I please Well, the place meets my needs The one’s I’ve been born with So why can’t I cross? Why wont you let me? I know I’m not lost Wont you let me go I’d be better off you know On the other side [comments] => 2 [counter] => 199 [topic] => 73 [informant] => SmileSkinDeep [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => abstract )
