The "Criminal"
December 18, 2011
He sleeps by day
He runs by night
But no one knows
Why he is in flight
Some say he's a criminal,
Some say he's innocent,
Some say he's a murderer,
I say they're full of it.
They didn't know him,
But I did.
He isn't a criminal,
but more like a kid.
He ran away from home,
when he was just a boy.
Just because his sister
Broke his favorite toy
You ask me how I know him,
this brings tears to my eyes.
I promise it was an accident,
He didn't even say goodbye.
