EMPTY

i hadn't the sunshine
forever seems the lasting time
i take a walk down outside
kids play games of seek and hide
medication and money alter my freedom
ruler i'm not of this kingdom
i'm a guinea pig, a mere stat
not much activity, i become fat
A low 30 dollars don't do much
can't visit such and such and such
low as 6 feet and high as heaven
my existance is between 1 and 7
people know me, i know plenty
but still yet inside i feel empty
