I'm scared
I'm lonely
No one understands
No one knows
No one sees, MY tears
hears, MY cries
You just see my smile
My disguise
My lies
Spoken from my pride
Insisting to hide
My hurt
My curse
My worst
A part of my body decays
I no longer look to God in praise
Now, it's more to relieve my frustration
Asking too many questions to mention
They all begin with why
Answers all seem like lies
Destined to comfort me
But I don't believe it
So I just wallow in my misery
I have a heart that bleeds
Cuz u chose not to love me
Cuz my grandmother died
cuz I got raped and I hid it all inside
Cuz I have AIDS
Cuz I have cancer
Cuz I'm an innocent man trapped behind these prison walls
Appealing and getting no answer
Cuz I hate what I see in the mirror every day
Cuz I end up being broke again the day after I get paid
Cuz I can't read or write
Cuz I got kicked out and I have to sleep in the park at night
Here I stand
Tired
Broken
I have so much to say
Please listen
