I said love, but the world said hatred.
I said comfort, but America charged and cried "money!"
I said health, but the doctors told me sickness.
Never had I spoken upon such deaf ears.
I whispered everything, but the wind said nothing.
I told the sky my secrets, but it didn't keep them quiet.
I loved a cloud once, but it rained on my parade.
Now I can't even trust myself.
I babbled mama, but she said shhh.
I mumbled peace, but the director spoke "oil."
I screamed Honesty, but no one heard me.
