I want a heart, Unbroken by the world, A heart capable of crying, Of feeling emotions. I have been pretending, Fooling myself, Into believing that I have emotions. I do not care If I'll never grow up, As long as I still have my empathy, I'll be complete. I'll be complete… An empty husk I've been for so long, I forgot what true love feels like. Just a jester to the public, A pawn in life's game, A powerless, hollowed husk, Unchanged, yet still moving. Just like a tree Rooted into the ground, Yet its leaves still move along To the wind named time. A tree that is rotting And has been rotting For the longest time, Slower than a snail. Hoping and waiting, Daily and nightly, That its end will come Sooner than ever. Praying and believing That someone will come, Someone with a heart To share their emotions. Not just their actions. Not just their thoughts. But their true, heartfelt emotions. So that it might also Feel along with them, Empathize with them, Care for them. But I know that's too selfish, Too much to ask, Too much effort out of somebody else. That's why my wish is to be a diamond. To have an impact On someone's life Is something so precious And yet so fragile, Just like a diamond. And yet diamonds are common, More common than you'd think, And often get overlooked In today's society For just their beauty. But not all diamonds are beautiful. All of them were ugly, Covered in mud, Until someone saw their potential. But I have none… I can just observe As everyone else Is shining but me, With futures ahead. As I remain still, Unchanged at the core By the wind named time, With no direction or hope, While everybody else Is moving right past, Changing and molding Into who they desire, Leaving me alone To rot and die, A soul with no future, No talent, no value.

Trough the eyes of a tree
I want a heart, Unbroken by the world, A heart capable of crying, Of feeling emotions. I have been pretending, Fooling myself, Into believing that I have emotions.
