Why was I told It would all be fineWhy was I told to forgetMaybe I'd have been better offIf I had been asked to forgive...Or better yet If I hadn't thought at allPerhaps the storm would have abatedInstead of rising now on calling.Perhaps I would not cry each timeAnd say,'I just want someone to hold meAnd no one does that anymore.'Now I sound pathetic to myself...Would life have been simplerIf this is as simple as it getsWhy was I told to look upWhile the ground was pulledAway from my feet..Why am I here nowBare and shakenShivering and CryingFor all the world to seeNo one's supposed to see me cryYou know better than that!This is only half of what I've been feeling but I couldn't get it all down... does it sound incomplete?
