I Don't Belong Here

She was once an intelligent and beautiful girl

The only one that her parents cared for in this world,

She was an attention-getter; the leader of the pack,

She is always moving forward and never turning back.

Now she has turned to the life of crime

Been going to prison for her wrongdoings from time to time,

Her parents don’t like the way she was acting now

She is now moving backwards and not turning her life around.

Now she is all alone and doesn’t have someone to talk to,

And all she does is cry, cry, cry; not knowing what to do.

“I don’t belong here,” she says, “and I don’t know why;

I don’t just sit around and cry, cry, cry!”

All she wants now is to be loved

She has no other choice, but to look up above

“I don’t belong here, Lord,” she says, “please get me out of here

I want to turn my life back around, don’t you hear!”

A few years later, she is back to being a good girl again

She is putting her life back together and was feeling no more pain

Her family and her friends are very proud of her

She is now, once again, feeling like a winner.
