Some day, I think, I will settle for a smile
Break away from these chains and free-fall for a while
I am tired of feeling like my life is on trial
And I've been here way too long
So maybe my talents will shock and amaze
Or maybe everyone will avoid my gaze
I've been loved and rejected in so many ways
And it's hard, sometimes, to be strong
If everyone gave me a penny for each thought
I'd be swimming in money, though my words would get caught
I once had a voice, but now I've forgot
What it's like to bare my soul
So some try to comfort and some try to teach
And they get so frustrated when I'm out of their reach
You can offer me friendship, but don't come here to preach
I have to find my own way to be whole.
