How Many

How many more tears do I have to cry,

 

how many more years til I understand why?

 

How many more of those long sleepless nights?

 

How much longer till I know im gonna be alright?

 

Wanting to belong is all that I need,

 

just wanting to be loved isnt acting in greed.

 

How many more sad poems will I write as I read,

 

its hard knowing it all come about from one little seed.

 

I see so many lives surrounding me with cheer,

 

then I see myself all balled up in fear.

 

To bad life doesn't have a wheel I can steer,

 

I guess I will just sit back down for now im just here.

 

Will I ever let go of this pain from my past?

 

or does this nightmare I live plan to always last.

 

Its all coming at me to hard and to fast,

 

feeling like im smothered in a full body cast.

 

Trying to understand where it is I belong,

 

trying to stay alert,but at the same time stay strong.

 

No matter what i've done its always been wrong,

 

at least thats what i have heard for so long.

 

I turn my head as I sit and pray,

 

hoping tomorrow brings a peaceful day.

 

Solitary and alone is how I must stay,

 

but still the pain and torture wont go away...
