Know One

Knowone to cling to 
No one to listen 
No one to wipe my tears from my cheeks 
I have waited all my life 
For an embrace 
To hear genuine words of 
Love… 
My spirit reaches to the heavens 
And weeps and weeps 
I can’t feel the sky 
When will I be loved without condemnation?  
When will I be able to speak? 
And my words be heard instead of 
Silenced……
