Im Here
What?
I don’t understand
How?
Did I claim where I stand
This wasn’t my choice
But I’m here
Must be the silence in my voice
Only heard in my tears
Because I’m alone
There’s nobody
But I’m here
Not with somebody
They don’t care
No love
No integrity
It’s not fair
Why am I here
I’ve only tried my best
This is the result
A life of stress
Really
Unbelievable
But I’m still here
An unwanted choice
I’m alone
How
All I know is that I’m here
In nothing but fear
Of what’s next
Please no more I can’t take what’s next
Bless me
Don’t punish
Forgive me
Hold no grudges
I’m here ok
But let me fix my mistakes
A chance
There’s nothing else to take
I’m here
Alone
Nobody and no place to go
How much more
I’m not running
No not this time
I will fight until life is no more
This fight
My cries
Are they not enough
Please have mercy when all I do is try
I’m still here
I will stay here
Until the place of here
Is no longer here
