There’s somewhere I wanna be,

but I don’t know how to get there,

I’m walking in darkness and I can’t see,

My frustration is mounting I just want some help I think that’s fair.

You have expectations of me, but you’re not helping,

you’re quick to criticize and threaten, believing it’s motivation,

you’re wrong in your approach, those words hit hard and leave welts,

being an abuser and an inspiration for you has no separation.

Depression city is where I reside at the moment,

the Mayor is the evil one, and his minions,

all I need is a respite that could bring some enjoyment,

but the dark cloud of pain is there, shoe-horning bad opinions.

All right, all right, since you are always right, how am I to be successful?

oh, you don’t actually know; just pick something and Go!!?

What happens when I choose something you don’t think is useful?

It doesn’t make the kind of money you want; will you love me no more?

You just want what’s best for me, or so you’ve said,

teach me the way I should go so when I’m older, I shall not depart from it

You say you love me, but your actions and word are the opposite; that’s what replays in my head,

I want to continue this conversation, but your anger is rising; I heard the click.

I’m older now, and I’ve learned many things from you not many were good,

I’ve learned that dreams are for fools, I’ve learned I shouldn’t take a chance,

I’m older now; I no longer feed that fire, no matches, and no wood,

I’ve learned to be different from you, and my dreams are God-given. He’s placed them in my hands.

Generations of bad teachings end here with me,

The path is laid out before me, illuminated by heavenly light,

it’s so warm and bright that future generations will be able to see,

Yes!!! He’s taken me by the hand. I’m going to be alright.

The help I needed was never going to come from you,

but it could’ve been relayed through you; this journey I’m on, you can come along,

one isn’t as strong as two,

two who walk in faith can be made strong.

no hard feelings if you decline; I pray you’ll continue to watch and see,

but for me, I finally know the somewhere I wanna be.
