A water-spotted ceiling as
I lie awake
On a thin mattress

Stained and dirty tiles as
I drench myself
In the small bathroom

Utter silence as
I eat
On the broken couch

Trash and starvation as
I walk
On the barren sidewalks

Gossips and whispers as
I pass the day
In school

More trash and starvation as
I walk home
On the cracked sidewalks

Death and theft and tyranny as
I watch the news
On my small TV

Darkness as
I shut my eyes
Towards another day
