Romeo oh romeo
You win this everlasting battle
I give up
I surrender
Can you not see my white flag waving?
I'm sick of trying
Because I try for nothing
Where is my half of the bargain?
Inside I'm dying
I cannot flee
I am a refugee in my mind
Escaping from the danger chasing me
Whenever does this end?
I thought you'd be the one to free me
Yet again,
I was proven wrong
I am an immigrant
In foreign lands
Fighting for my freedom
A gift I think I'll never get
Romeo oh romeo
Alas my time with thee is complete.
April 14
