Morph

Man if you look up "oldies" you sure can find a bunch of good stuff! I found a song that I remember my mom telling me, when I was in like 3rd grade, was my "Dad's" favorite song. I just got it & it almost made me cry. Must not have been too popular because I haven't heard it since I was that little.... it's called Playground in my mind. Ever hear of it?

If you are wondering why I put the word dad in quotes it's because I've never met him. Funny thing is...I know he's alive, & living in Illinois. I wrote him about 8 years ago, but I'm not sure whether he just didn't care or didn't get it. Weird situation. Plus I have his current address. I've been thinking of writing & sending pictures, but how exactly do you start a letter like that... how do you end it...& how do you not sound mad that the fool hasn't talked to you for your whole life...by choice?! Hmmm.... any advice on this one would be really appreciated. :)

**Welcome to my life...**
Do you ever feel like breaking down? Do you ever feel out of place? Like somehow you just don't belong And no one understands you Do you ever want to run away? Do you lock yourself in your room? With the radio on turned up so loud That no one hears you screaming No you don't know what it's like When nothing feels alright You don't know what it's like to be like me To be hurt To feel lost To be left out in the dark To be kicked When you're down To feel like you've been pushed around To be on the edge of breaking down And no one's there to save you No you don't know what it's like Welcome to my life Do you wanna be somebody else? Are you sick of feeling so left out? Are you desperate to find something more Before your life is over? Are you stuck inside a world you hate? Are you sick of everyone around? With the big fake smiles and stupid lies While deep inside you're bleeding No you don't know what it's like When nothing feels alright You don't know what it's like to be like me To be hurt To feel lost To be left out in the dark To be kicked When you're down To feel like you've been pushed around To be on the edge of breaking down And no one's there to save you No you don't know what it's like Welcome to my life No one ever lied straight to your face And no one ever stabbed you in the back You might think I'm happy But I'm not gonna be ok Everybody always gave you what you wanted You never had to work it was always there You don't know what it's like What it's like To be hurt To feel lost To be left out in the dark To be kicked When you're down To feel like you've been pushed around To be on the edge of breaking down And no one's there to save you No you don't know what it's like (what it's like) To be hurt To feel lost To be left out in the dark To be kicked When you're down To feel like you've been pushed around To be on the edge of breaking down And no one's there to save you No you don't know what it's like Welcome to my life Welcome to my life Welcome to my life
