Look In Me

Have you ever watched me cry Night after night Behind these doors? Have you ever noticed My teary eyes As we drive back home? Everynight? What I need is someone To lift me up As I sink in the Abyss of hopelessness. I told you, I am not strong Just my dreams are stronger But you keep crushing them They would never be true, You say, so little chance Live with the ordinary Cause that’s what life is about My heart struggles to accept this But, how can I disobey you? Have I ever? I only disagree. What I need is not you You say, find someone new But how could I? Don’t you see the chains Formed the day, I gave myself To you? My goals are not so noble Just ambitious Dream to change the world In a way you never did But how can I do so? You look down On everyone else who did. How can I but want to Yearn your hate and not your admiration? Your love For which I left everything I ever owned. For a world which was never mine or would be! Don’t you see, how I am dying Inside, day after day? Sleepless nights into endless days Into desperation And hopelessness Killing me, slowly.
