I'm Ready

I crave for praise

Since one of these days

I will age 

Fade away

Want to be remembered 

As someone better

Than a hopeless girl

With sad brown eyes

I seek for acceptance

I can't resist

The temptation 

To assist

I want to help you

Help you help me

All I can do

Is pray on my knees

I need your love

I need self-worth

For I can't survive 

On planet earth

Without your presence

I need not exist

For I can't live

Without your kiss

Tell me you love me

Say you need me

Tell me I'm beautiful

Say you won't leave me 

Your words are my escape

From this treacherous place

Your eyes lead me far away

To a place where I can be at peace

My eyes are closed

I cannot see

I trust that you

Will lead me 

On a journey where I will soon be free

And hopefully

I sincerely believe

That life is a challenge

And I'm ready.
