Somewhere in Minnesota

by Twan - Aries

Somewhere inside the cold, I stood in it and watched
The snow came down slowly around me
I hid from my depression but
Eventually, it found me
I ran away but it came
I'll never live to find fame
Fortune is relative, I said as I died. 

As I rode the bus home, I turned my head
And watched the world flash by
People on their lives, me on mine
And sometimes it makes me cry

Everyone wants to stare at me
They spit and they hiss
They make it hard for me to live
but still I just wish
I didn't hate Chicago now
Still I try to soldier on
But my leg catches something and I fall
Quicksand, and I sink in deep


This is my life now
It used to be unique
But now it looks like everyone else's around me...
Bleak.
