is it a crime?
Location
is it a crime to want to be loved
by someone other than yourself
is it a crime to cry at night
after getting abused night after night
is it a crime to beg for food
and do anything it takes to get by
is it a crime to cut yourself
because you feel numb
and want to feel something again
is it a crime to sell yourself
to pay for those little ones that mean the world to you
is it a crime? is it a crime? is it a crime?
you tell me is a criem to want to be loved?
