A Silent Plea
What tall tales must one share
to free themselves from hell
do not allow the heart to ponder
or you will be lost in wonder
What does a woman such as I know of love
I know it hurts more than anything
I know it will be down right disappointing
and no one will come to lift you up
For they want you to give them more than you have
from the time I was a child I have known love was not my desire
I loved with all of my heart and gave everything of whom I was
but no one ever took a chance to love me back
Now in my age my mind is torn from loving and harm
do not bother me if this is your way of fun
after all I am only human
I want to be happy like anyone else, even if by myself
Please if nothing nice can be done or said just pretend I am dead
I know when I am hated or gossiped about and seriously I am at a loss
I want to smile again, I would give anything to have someone be my friend
I do not care who loves who just please let me be a human being too
