25. The dark corner street
10-26-04
Suzy Lee
I stand here on the dark corner street
Feeling used and abused and beat
Am not sure where to go from here
I know that I have no more tears
I am a girl of mid teens but feel 100 years old
It was only a few years ago, I listened to what I was told
I didn’t like school
I thought it wasn’t cool
I rather hang with my friends
And that was the end
First it was a cigarette
Then it was drugs, it just progressed
I ran away from home
Didn’t like my parents, figure it would be better on my own.
I found a cute older boy
He had a car, with some pretty cool toys
He said he would love me and take good care of me
Oh, man, why I was too blind to see
He didn’t want me, just my body
First he was nice
Saying everything right
and then…. I found myself alone
just a girl without a home
I stand here on the dark corner street
Wish I could hit delete
Turn back time
Be in a bed I can call mine
Have my innocent back
Playing video games, talking on the phone, listening to music, having after school snacks
Having slumber parties, getting dressed up
Talking about cute boys and putting on make up
I am standing on the dark corner street
I had dreams, ya know? Going to be dancing on Broadway, on my feet
I even imagined myself as a rockette
I was going to be the best, better then all the rest
I was going to study at the university of new York
My dreams all came to a screeching fork
I chose the wrong way
I wanted to do everything my way
The son is rising, just over the city limits
Today I am going to change my life, I am going to fix it
I am not going to stand here on the dark corner street any more
I am going to open a new door
I am going to go to school
I am going to get a job, I will be cool
I will fulfill my dreams
And I will be a dancing queen
