Why Should I Care

Why should I care 

                                            Why should I care,
                                            Then live a lie and dare.
                                            For each way I look,
                                            My life turns to a book.

                                            Sad desire's shamed pain,
                                            Of a past situation I'd never regain.
                                            Lies of loves words and deceit,
                                            And memories past covered under sheets.

                                            My life has turned to nothing but No,
                                            When will I have a chance to go,
                                            Where I want in the land of free,
                                            Living my life as I want to be.

                                            So now you tell me if I care,
                                            For things are still a lie when I bare.
                                            Still my feelings are of truth and love,
                                            For I know that he hears me from high above.
