Refuge

When school was out
I'd always come
With nothing to talk about
Nothing to give

My place of refuge
The place I called home
They accepted me there
With my peppermint gum

Every day of the week
Except weekends of course
I would come, the half-geek
In rain or shine

It seems like I've been here
Years and years
This is the place I have no fear
My hope in the darkness, my peace
