I'M Standing Here, Why Can'T You See Me

By Anthony Grider 6/23/17

I'm standing right here, why don't you see me.

I'm standing here with my help sign., 
Don't know where my next meal will come from.,
Poverty is made by design.,
I'm neither lazy nor am I dumb.
Just down on my luck.,
No one else knows more how much life can suck.
O' This ain't how I wanted my life to be.,
No one knows my story but me.

O' I'm standing right here, why don't you see me.,
O' Does anyone care, O' this ain't how I wanted my life to be.,
My life's up in the air, so to live I have to pay your fee.,
O' I'm standing right here, why can't you see me.,
Are you blind O' why can't you see me.

I'm standing here with brusies and a black eye.,
O' One too many broken bones.,
No one can here me cry.,
I was called dumb and worthless, thats how my story goes.
How can you have hope when your soul is so full of holes.,
When everything is taken, how can you have any goals.
I have a torn and broken soul O' how can this be.,
Hiding but wishing everyone could see.

O' I'm standing right here, why don't you see me.,
My life so full of fear, O' how can this be.,
O' Does anyone care, O' this ain't how I wanted my life to be.,
O' I'm standing right here, why can't you see me.,
Are you blind O' why can't you see me.

O' I'm standing here with my house gone and my family dead.,
Your bombs came from out of the sky.,
I'm going crazy losing my head.,
When I hear all these wars was start by a lie.
O' why did my family have to die.,
O' No one to hear me cry.
You should've left us be.,
All your wrongs one day I'll make you see.

O' I'm standing right here, why can't you see me.,
You send your bombs to make us fear, you should've left us be.,
O' All your sins and wrongs one day you'll see.,
O' I'm standing right here, why don't you see me.,
Are you blind O' why can't you see me.
