Pointless Power
Pointless Power
Pointless power
Misguided use
Your laughter follows
My abuse
I try
And I cry
I wish I could die
But there’s too much here
For me to go
My friends are here when my heart is low
If it weren’t for them then I don’t know
I try
And I cry
As I float to the ground
I try to stand up
But I always fall down
Your sneers muffle
All of my screams
When I reach for the sky
And you step on my dreams
What do you want?
Where can I turn?
If you won’t listen
Then how will you learn
You won’t
You won’t even try
If you try
You will cry
Yet I reach for the sky
You pull me back down
I am stuck on the ground
Though I cried when I failed
The triers prevail
What do you want?
From a stranger like me?
You had no time to listen
You never will see
So now
Neither do I
I just reach for my dreams
Way up high
In the sky
