All I Want

All I want to do is try,
To tell you how I feel inside
But I’ve been bitten once,
Now I’m twice as shy.

All I want to be is loved.
Not pushed around and shoved,
By memories of past events
That hurt my soul and make me tense.

All I want to understand.
Is why I see myself as bland.
Let me just elaborate,
I’m not thin,
Pretty or underweight.

All I want to do is hide.
Bury myself deep inside

Curled up tight beneath my sheet Are you listening?
I won’t repeat.

All I want to do is cry…
