Johny Lee

In an Old town named Misery
There lived a boy named Johny Lee
He spoke of one thing, wrote another
Wasn't sure who was his birth mother

Had been in orphanage since '62
Always been told, what to do
His friend only an old small wall
They walk in society but he could only crawl

Thought differently, used to challenge the basics
Was interested in books, evermore than chics
Had trouble following a path, always confused and astray
With every despair moment, couldn't live another day

Untrained Unloved Unwanted Unknown
Wished daylight when others wanted snow
Felt excited when others got the creeps
Had brilliant thoughts but rarely did he speak

Was curious to know, about the world
Its timeless strives and how it worked
Loved to read the books, of detection and crime
For senseless talks, he never had time

And twenty years later, he lost his mind
Broke free from the bonds, of the orphanage
Ran away from the derided, unholy place
Where gruesome punishments, he did face

Felt proud and hopeful about the new world
be good and kind to him, he prayed
But unfortunately enough, he was wrong
The human class had long been stained
