Crawling

When you're crawling from day to day,

Heavy burdens that not just weigh
But push you deeper down on the ground
Until no more sunlight can be found.

You try grasping for any straw,
but find out quickly, there is no law,
that protects you from more harm,
You're only a victim, no cause for alarm.

You're left alone to fight your fight,
Caretakers run away in fright,
No longer feeling compelled to help,
The complexity makes them yelp.

When you reach up from the floor,
To knock on yet another door,
Only to find it slammed in your face,
You realise you don't belong to this race.

You're paying the highest price,
For crimes you didn't commit,
The laws aren't really that nice,
When you're the victim of it.

So you crawl to the next day,
Your heavy burdens that not just weigh,
But push you deeper down onto the ground,
Until no more sunlight can be found.
