if you could see through my eyes you'd know it's be true,
It seems to get tougher day by day,
and everyday it seems I pray,
for all of this to just go away,
and for me to go to a better place to stay.
To get up in the morning it's useless I know,
to go to that hell, that school, I must go.
It's good to know that your friends got your back,
right now it's the only thing keeping me on track.
I tell my folks and they're full of "I knows,"
that's just the way that life goes.
It's hard to believe that a town this small,
can take a boys dreams make them crash and then fall.
I'd like my cultural knowledge to take flight,
but the only culture I've learned about is white.
I keep on pushing day after day,
in hopes that my dream will come this way.
There is one person that I know,
she gives me a reason to continue, to go,
from the school staff, about us come a "tee hee,"
according to handbook, equal opportunity,
but it's easy for the human eye to see,
we can't be what we want to be. -daniel 9/?/99
