When You Give Up Your Dreams Go Away Poem by Elle Jay E..

My dream is to get away out of this place
Your dream is to have all the food that you can save
His dream is to be with her and be her boyfriend
Her dream is to drug deal the day away from all those classes
Our dream is all the same
and all equal, but their will be no sequal
all our dreams connect
all our dreams stay set
all our dreams are impossible in this place we call home
getting drunk with your momma aint even a no go
why boy why do you think thats o kay?
why girl why do you sleep away the pain?
why man why do they let us get away
why do they let us run with no probay
dont they see us walking the streets
dont they see us walking to meet
dont they care were out there alone
dont they want to just give us a home
no i dont think so they dont understand
they dont see whats here they dont see the man
they dont see the trouble
they dont see the me
they dont see the hoodlums
they just let us be

gave up on us
gave up on the men
gave up on life were too hard to mend
