My Desperate Cry


My Desperate Cry No one knows me Or even tries to I'm just a person A soulless person I have dreams But no one sees I have a voice But no one bothers to hear I have goals But you say they're unreachable You say I'm lost That hope for me is gone To prove you wrong would only be a step To conquer the world would only be a sentence in my book To live a life of love I've seen is unattainable But then it happened The day I dreaded I never wanted this to happen This wasn't my plan I tried so hard to keep it away But it can't be contained I can't be seen in one way Some days I choose to fly And others I am ok on the ground Does that make me undetermined Does it make me lazy So I choose not to care I am quiet but dangerous Like an ant invading a house One moment im harmless The next I am unstoppable I choose to be what I want to be I choose to be happy With or without you Though I need you Everyone needs one Some don't have one So be the storybook mother The one that says I can reach the stars The one that even when I mess up you are there to help Not ridicule Not judge Because we all make mistakes So when I make mine don't give up on me Just love me Love me for me Just because I'm not what you want I'm what you have And just like you I'm irreplaceable
