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?
