I held my breathe
You touched my heart
I was optimistic
But frightened to the bone
So i let you go
How i wish i had held your hand
Assured you of my ever flowing love
Now i search for you earnestly
I hold my breathe time and again
But my heart remains untouched, unfeeling
Were you my last?

He didn't bother calling
Or asking how i am
She didn't try to make me smile
Just gave me a little food to eat
They didn't care that my face was bruised
They hounded me with more work
It didn't take a break
It pounced on me
With these pains, my hope is gone to the wind
Crying won't make it better too
Just resilience and hope
That tomorrow my face will see a semblance
Of a smile.

It rained heavily - on my face
The wetness blocked his view - on my face
Skin to skin, wiping it away won't help
Oh how i hate pimples

Stir up my emotions,
Iron them up out,
Make me believe
That it doesn't matter,
To be undecided,
Whether too small or too big,
Let me fit without a glitch all the same.

I aimed for the sky
and got myself to the moon
still,
i can't help but wish
you were my shooting star
so that you would quench
this burning desire
to have you all to myself

Have you ever been attacked for who you are?
I have been told over and over again that i am a good person and i never believed them
But now that they say i am a bad person,
And i can't stand it.

I am trying to get the best way to tell you how i feel
My words are not exceptional like Shakespeare's
They won't stick on your mind for generations to come
They are simple words of pain, real words of hurt

How can i move forward from this, this smoking environment round me
Is suffocating me, drawing me nearer to the grave
I wish you would remember something else about me
Other than this downtrodden vision of **ME
