Sitting back watching the days go by
Wondering why eyes have to cry.
I'm stuck in the middle of the big black clouds
I'm not saying a word, not making a sound
People don't realize that life goes fast
Deep down they know it, but they let it pass.
I don't know which group I'm supposed to be with
I talk to people; they don't listen; so I'm dissed.

I think that everyone wants just one good friend
One that they can count on, till the very end.
I believe that every one has a soul,
They just don't use it; so they really don't know.
Everybody has their own little hobbies, but I?
I'm just me trapped in a body

Sitting back watching people cry
Wondering why lies never die.
I'm stuck in the middle of unsaid words
I'm shutting my ears, haven't really heard
People don't understand that some need help
Deep down they want to, but they let them yelp.
I don't know why it must be this way
I talk softly, they disagree, and we'll pay

I think that everyone just wants to be embraced.
One too many problems have been laced
I believe that everyone has a soul
They just don't use it; so they really don't know
Everybody has their time of sobbing, but I?
I'm just me trapped in a body.

This is a very touching poem to me. I don't know if
it's written from personal experience, but I
could feel hurt in it....especially in the last verse.....
