Just A FAC's Kid!

Just a FAC's kid, yeah that's me,
moving house to house like its easy
wishing one day I would be free
scared where the department will put me next,
What if they don't like me?
What if they don't like me smoking my cigarettes?
They all try to change me
I only want to be me.
They don't know what I have been through
the stuff I have seen,
I've only just turned fifteen.
been on the streets for six weeks
tried ice, worst experience of my life.
Now I'm stuck with a monster inside my head.
Some days I just wish I were dead
I'm sick of wishing for a better life
nothing is ever going to be alright.
