To the World
I am words unspoken
A body asleep waiting to be awoken
I am words that cannot be read
Words unspoken and never could be said
I am only a person trying to find my dreams
Waiting to be awoken yet trying to fall asleep
I am an ocean shattered apart
Buried in the middle you can find my heart
I am cancer waiting to put you through pain
How I feel I'm unable to explain
I am your mind waiting to see how this poem ends
A girl who has finally found a friend
I am tears ready to fall like rain
Blood streaming down a vein
I am an operator ready to take your call
A cure found that can finally heal all
I am patience running out of time
A newborn trying to understand a nursery rhyme
I am who I am though I don't know why
Knowing I could die within a blink of an eye
I am many letters to the author
Hoping that atleast a look he would offer
I am an abandoned infant with no where to go
Can anyone see I have many years to grow?
I am the door you swing open without knocking
Baby on the cradle without you rocking
I am a sunny day waiting for a storm to hit
The truth hard for me to admit
I am misery with a smile on my face
Loving these memories wanting not to erase
I am someone who has seen how far I've come
Remembering where I started from
I am anger tearing someone inside
I want to be loved is all I've ever cried
I am speakers blasting as you drive by
Hurting inside looking out for the public eye
I am hunger destroying half the world
In the darkness still a lonely girl
I am passion between you and your love
A gift God has sent from above
I am the crack you step on as you walk
Camera man watching people die in Iraq
I am the president trying to start a war
A war that has never been fought before
I am lyrics to a beautiful love song
A girl that wants to feel like she belongs
I am the sun rising early in the morning
A flood coming without a warning
I am death ready to take a life
A girl still not ready to be a wife
I am lips sealed with too much to say
A bird without a place to stay
I am a person who just wants to live
For who I am could you forgive?
