Lonely Wall by Liz
I see the stars each night –
I know I will be great;
I feel people’s Pain and Passion.
But why can’t I help me?
I’m around people –
My mind is blurred as the surface of the ocean;
I talk, but I’m gone
With the winds with no direction.
But why can’t I help me?
There isn’t love or trust
I can willingly give back –
I’ve been offered gold and diamonds;
But I seem very unhappy.
Why can’t I help me?
Life could be crude –
Life could be adventurous;
Life could mean "live",
But why can’t I help myself?
I am s h e lter when others feel pain –
I am comforting when approached;
I am loved by the world.
Why can’t I love myself?
Why can’t I feel other people’s joy?
Some might call me selfish –
Some might call me stupid;
But if only they could feel my pain,
But if only they understood.
I never wished to be sad –
No one would.
But that is what I’m going through –
I know things would get better;
I would feel like a baby again,
I would watch the sunrise
With someone I might fall in love.
But till then,
Why can’t I help myself
