Rubber Ball

As I had the chance

To mention

It wasn't my intention

To punish you

This detention

Is inflicted upon myself

Study hall

I climb the wall

To install

A safety net

In case I fall

Avoid the curve ball

By not going to bat at all

Let the answering machine

Take the call

Pretending I'm not at home

Someone knocks at my door

I climb into my bed

Pull my sleeping bag over my head

Sleep as though I am dead

Sometimes I wish I was

Just because

Pain is too much

For me to bear

You told me that you care

Left me hanging in the air

It's a long way to fall

Rubber ball

Only bounce back up

To fall again
