I’m standing here, watching the world go on around me

Will no one understand me?

Now I’m screaming for acceptance,

Will no one hear me?

All I’m asking is to be loved by someone

Will no one help me?

But the fact remains that this is nothing new

Will no one ever care?

Tears streaming down my face,

Can no one see me?

I’m but a shadow anymore

Will no one rescue me?

Because I need to be rescued from myself

Will no one save me from drowning in misery?

People turn to stare, but still not willing to lift a finger

Am I all alone in this world?

They make their assumptions and move along

Does no one truly care?

Their expressions haunting me

Am I truly that unloved?

I’m not asking for much, simply that someone give me a chance.

Is everyone else that much better than me?

Because everyone else is loved by someone, except me

Am I really that repulsive?

I do try, and I know I shouldn’t, but I care when people push me down

Will no one ever see?

All I want is to know…

Will I ever be loved?
