I long for love

My sorrow drips from my lips like rain

But no one listens

For no one hears my pain


Other kids fill their mouths

All I receive is loneliness 

No one to love  

No one to hug


My eyes may fill with tears

But not a single soul may ask of it 

Oh I can't wait for the day when I am free


Like a leaf mid drift

I can't help but feel giddy

I can change my path with some help

Soon to be renewed into a new life


For no one may ever see 

What happens to children like me

All bottled up with fear


It is time to go to bed

Hopefully I can rest my head

At least an hour or two

Hopefully my dream soon comes true
