Can I Be Loved
When you look what do you see?
A freak with a patchy bald head and a person with damaged shoes
Or do you see a bum with no place to go
My face is a face of pain, suffering and longing
Longing to be accepted to be free
Free from this judgement and from harsh life
I sit here waiting for someone to show me
A way out of this wasteland and away from pain
When you look at me I feel ashamed
I cannot help where I am right now
I was cast out no-one loved me
When I speak no words come out
I am so full of doubt I'll find a way out
I am mute I am quiet so no-one can know
what it is I am trying to say
Why am I this way
