The Land of Grimney - The Illustrated Adventures of Cora Pearl, aged 12

A cry a sigh a reason why
this world should be for me
No sanity, humanity
Can ever let me be

I close my eyes from troubled skies
Pretend I am elsewhere
But all around the folk I've found
Would rather I'm not there.

From days alone in mortgaged home
To Nights where sleep was lost
A price to pay for every day
It all comes down to cost.

The single tear then born from fear
Exposed your weaker side
A striking pose with runny nose
Your feelings you can't hide.

Confidence or on the fence
Our very soul at risk
No in-between for troubled teen
The punishment as brisk

So don't let bile turn people vile
Just be the friend you can
No medals earned for people spurned
Just love your fellow man.
