I try to find
Common ground
With those
Who surround
But god help me
I just don't get
Their hatred
And negativity
I long to feel free
From the hatred and greed
That surrounds me
In a town that doesn't
Know any better
But for now
These surroundings
I must weather
But no matter what
I live my life
Not in hate
But love
The way I know
I should
