47th. Hopeless

Hopeless

– By Sophia Cac

I've been with the crowd without the spotlight

But all seem to change within that night.

Either of us had anything to do in the room

But whenever our eyes meet, my heart seems to go BOOM.

While everyone dances with the band in the top volume,

All I can think of was us alone in the room.

But one made his way across the room to you

All seems to make sense and so I thought I was through

You talked with him while you had me thinking "What should I do?"

Thinking I probably missed my shot to get you

But then you shake his hand and return your eyes on mine,

All the sudden you got me fidgeting with a whine!

Oh I was hopeless!

Look at those eyes,

Just giving me sparks,

A sign, a chance to hit the mark!

I was never the one with a known name,

Nobody would care for me since I have no fame.

I have so many doubts

But your words cast them all out!

I never had the chance to be wild,

I was kept in my comfort zone since I was a child

But you're the one who gave me thrills!

And I thank the God for you were real.

A gift for me to keep

And girl, how you had me so deep!

I've written down many letters now

All for others to know

That I didn't entirely knew

What it was that you saw –

Saw in me, for I was blind to see myself in the mirror

...too blind to see things clearer

But then I thought,

Maybe I should write to myself.

For all the things I was taught

I never was guided to see it myself

What it was that made me "me"

But I always say "never mind"

In hope not to list out the flaws

That I never want to discuss

But you gave me a desire to say, "I'm me!"

You point out the chances,

Saying how many those haven't changes

Saying, "Hey see that?

Tell everyone that was you."

I recall you telling me to be true,

To myself, to others, and to you

So I shall say the truth.

"Hope you don't mind,

But you had me the moment you set your eyes on mine."

This one's was  inspired by Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton; Helpless!

I will be giving him creates for such great work of his! And to whoever isn't familiar with it, I recommend that you scoop a little and check out his magnificent story-telling songs about Alexander Hamilton!
