The reason why I cry

Late at night while I'm tucked in
bed, the tears fall slowly as I wish
I were dead. Long gone from this
place were none understands.
Long gone where nobody but God
makes demands.

I'm so tired . Yes! All of me, body
and soul. I can't keep up anymore
my heart is getting cold.

Cold from the people who uses it
to their advantage. Cold from
reality because it treats me like
garbage.

Cold from the knowledge that I'm
alone in this world, and that I'm
a big girl now, I'm no longer a
little girl.

Oh, how I wish I could turn back
time, to take me to a place where
love is once again mine.

Where I'm no longer judged by
what people think they see. Where
everyone who surrounds me, loves
me for me.

I wish I could go somewhere, where
I'd never get old. Where I'd only
die once and live forever long.

I wouldn't have to put up with no
more abuse. And when the sun
comes out and smiles, you would
see me smiling too.
