Nightmare
The alarm sounds and I take one step and fall
Filled with fear, at that moment I've never felt so small
Trying to figure out what had just happened and why
Wondering if I will make it out and trying not to cry
Reaching for my radio so I could get some help
I will never forget the evil eyes as the beating caused me to yelp
Trying to move away just to get out of their sight
Too late now, another kick, a punch, a stab, it's time to fight
Feeling something smash hard directly into my face
Spitting out the blood and teeth thinking what the fuck is wrong with this place
Watching as the sharp objects pierce deep into my flesh
Again and again it enters me as I begin to feel like a piece of mesh
I start thinking that I have finally reached the end
Something deep inside yells keep fighting it's not your time dear friend
I take a deep breath and battle back with every ounce of might
I may have looked like a warrior, but I was only fueled by fright
It wasn't their fault I kept telling myself about these kids filled with rage
It was society's fault for throwing them all into this dirty cage
As darkness began to fill my eyes I saw a juvenile face
He told me don't worry Sergeant Chambers I'll get you out of this place
I remember feeling the sun on my skin as he dragged me to the gate
I then let the tears flow alongside the blood and let God decide my fate
Filled with fear, at that moment I've never felt so small
Trying to figure out what had just happened and why

I will never forget the evil eyes as the beating caused me to yelp
Trying to move away just to get out of their sight
