Another day, it’s time to get moving,
It’s really hard, I am tired of proving…myself, my worth.
You see the smile on my face.
Only if you could see the dark space.
My heart is big, I want to give it to you,
Yet you crush it with your words so blue.
To you I am talking and showing you I care,
You don’t hear me, with room to spare.
