Longingly I stare
At the deep blue sky...

When you are all alone without a guiding hand
Remember that you are never truly alone...

When I was younger people asked
Why I would cry when I should have...

Guns and violence acts of terror
Nothing is sacred anymore...

Sometimes I wish that I were blind
If I could not see I would not have...

I stare at the house before me,
As flames consume it...

You are the one who inspires me
Makes me want to make a difference...

She walks to school
With her notebook in hand...

I am sitting in this empty room
Gazing at the remnants of a once happy life...

I long for you
every day and every night...

Forgive me, for I have failed
I let you down when you needed me...

Hidden behind the hoodies and the baggy pants
Is someone who yearns to be loved...
