Lonely Child

She never gave the love that I saught He never asked about my thoughts I stayed home with no one to play Lost in my dreams I wondered astray I searched for a friend which I never found I cried out my heart, no one heard the sound Sometimes I wished I was never born Or never wake up and see another dawn. I peeped though the doors and saw them fighting All day it was just yelling and shouting I sat by the window and watched the white clouds Wishing I could float with them and sing out aloud But alas! My reverie never lasted forever A cold voice would soon shake me and it would be over Sometimes I wondered to whom I belonged I searched for an answer like a lost song. The kids in my class thought I was strange Kind of weird, no one wanted to my friend I didn’t know how to smile, I never found a reason Life seemed so dark, trapped in a prison Wish I could run, millions of miles Find a faraway place where I could learn to smile But at the end of the day the hope disappeared I made my way back to the place that I feared. Through my little window I stared at the night sky Wishing for a miracle as I saw with my wet eyes A twinkling star up above there A sign of an angel coming from somewhere I hoped and hoped, for a happy home Where I would be loved and wouldn’t be so lone It never happened and every day passed by The lonely child kept wishing she could die.
