I've Cried Too Many Times

I've cried too many times

I cried when my soul became impure

I cried when I wasn't really sure

But who care... No one

In my eyes there is no sun

Just....darkness

Like the shadows I saw that night

Despite the knife which is now in my side I know

I'm still despised because they all wanted me to die

But I had to sacrifice my blood cause

I wanted to show them I was never giving up

Just because they had luck

doesn't mean I have to be stuck

They think I'm just another girl from the hood who never understood

But what does that have to do with my abilities

I should be good

They said no because they didn't like the paper I wrote

It's too rough

It's too real

Well there are people out here getting killed

And I just won't yield

I don't want to be another body laying on the ground

Unable to make a sound

Then wake up to ask where am I now

So I'll show them wrong

I won't pick up a gun and think the war is won

I have to silently fight back

Put my back against the wall

so they won't see me fall

and I won't have to stall

Nor get another phone call saying

"He's Dead"

I've cried too many times

Can you cry for me now?
