Others hope for happiness.
I hope to stay alive.
Others wish for nonsense.
I wish for you to understand.
Others pray for forgiveness.
I pray for my life.
Others dream of a prince.
I dream of a better life.
Others want perfection.
I want to be loved.
Others crave attention.
I crave a simple love.
Others tell rumors and lies.
I tell nobody nothing.
Others let everything out.
I bottle everything up.
I dont want to burden you.
For my pain is too much to carry on one pair of shoulders.
