To the World

I am words unspoken A body asleep waiting to be awoken I am words that cannot be read Words unspoken and never could be said I am only a person trying to find my dreams Waiting to be awoken yet trying to fall asleep I am an ocean shattered apart Buried in the middle you can find my heart I am cancer waiting to put you through pain How I feel I'm unable to explain I am your mind waiting to see how this poem ends A girl who has finally found a friend I am tears ready to fall like rain Blood streaming down a vein I am an operator ready to take your call A cure found that can finally heal all I am patience running out of time A newborn trying to understand a nursery rhyme I am who I am though I don't know why Knowing I could die within a blink of an eye I am many letters to the author Hoping that atleast a look he would offer I am an abandoned infant with no where to go Can anyone see I have many years to grow? I am the door you swing open without knocking Baby on the cradle without you rocking I am a sunny day waiting for a storm to hit The truth hard for me to admit I am misery with a smile on my face Loving these memories wanting not to erase I am someone who has seen how far I've come Remembering where I started from I am anger tearing someone inside I want to be loved is all I've ever cried I am speakers blasting as you drive by Hurting inside looking out for the public eye I am hunger destroying half the world In the darkness still a lonely girl I am passion between you and your love A gift God has sent from above I am the crack you step on as you walk Camera man watching people die in Iraq I am the president trying to start a war A war that has never been fought before I am lyrics to a beautiful love song A girl that wants to feel like she belongs I am the sun rising early in the morning A flood coming without a warning I am death ready to take a life A girl still not ready to be a wife I am lips sealed with too much to say A bird without a place to stay I am a person who just wants to live For who I am could you forgive?
