Juvenile Detention

This detention center really sucks, no pills, Maybe she does really care, but I'm afraid

no weed, can’t even drink a lousy beer. to let the real feelings in my heart show.

What’s worse than that, I’m thinking Gee, if someone for a change really cared

my folks don’t even care if I’m here. about me, that would be so nice to know.

Well, I don’t care, while I’m here I’ll I’ll just try a little to be nice and see if

learn things from these friends of mine. anything at all changes around this place.

When I get out I’ll be able to get away Wow! This might work. Now, even the

with what these people call a crime. guards have stopped getting in my face.

They say crime hurts other people, but Maybe there are people in this messed up

why should I care a bit about anyone? world who care about unloved kids like me.

No one ever cared about me. Seems I hope and pray there are, because I want to

like everyone hurt me just for fun. set the loving feelings inside of me free.

Why should I try to do right? Ain’t While I was in that place I learned one

no one who cares for me around here. one thing, a true and wonderful fact.

But, when I told my story, I thought Go through life caring about everyone

from the counselor I almost saw a tear. and most of them will love you back.
