The DoorMorning Noon & Night
Our lives at the Door We get fed through the Door We get meds through the Door we get yelled at through the Door On a good day, We get the remote through the Door OMG, you should see the size of key for the Door There's men on board! You must be dressed to go to the Door Don't you dare stand at the Door Don't talk through the Door Any chance they could clean the Door When the day finally comes We leave through the Door... - written by the women in RISE |
