Hello... Are you there? Are you listening?
Can't you hear me? I have changed.
I am a much better person now. Can't you see?
I am standing here bearing my soul for all to see.
Why are you looking right thru me?
I am screaming out, but no one can hear.
Wait... "Am I dead?" ~ I fear...
Why isn't anyone looking? What is going on?
Maybe I am dreaming and will wake with the dawn...
Maybe no one wants to see, maybe they just don't care.
Why? I've worked so hard. This just isn't fair.
No, I am not perfect. I still have a long way to go.
But don't I deserve some recognition?
Please don't tell me no.
Open your eyes. Listen to me please!
Look at me ******! Look and see.
A new, stronger & better version of the old me.
I am standing here bearing my soul.
That's okay, you don't have to notice.
I am still not going to stop because I am on a roll.
