Worn Out Sneakers

Take these worn out sneakers
With the blue stars on their sides
Their faded red fabric
Will take you for a ride
You say you always wondered
How it would feel to be like me
You only wanted to make conversation
But Ill show you what I mean
My father started drinking
When I had just turned three
Him beating on my mother
Made me lose her at thirteen
He finally got arrested
Just this past year
Hes never getting out
But the past keeps me in fear
My older brother was sixteen
When he decided to go
He pulled the trigger and left a note
Claiming his life went by too slow
My little sister has no mommy
To show her wrong from right
Instead of our mother
I sing her to sleep at night
My daughter, Rainy just learned to walk
With her rosy pink cheeks askew
Because her daddy ran off
I alone teach her everything new
Its not all fun and games for me
My life raped and taken away
Maybe after this little trip
Youll take back everything you say
So tie up the laces
And hold on tight
Youre about to take my place
In my horrible lonely life
