When I sit here all alone.
My mind starts to wonder where it should begin.
Is there something for me here?
This life we live,
What does it give?
I use to be so together,
Until my world came tumbling down.
It started about a year ago,
When I knew you would never come around.
It didn't stop there,
No that wasn't enough.
Everyone I loved,
Just added to it.
I had some calm before this storm.
Before the waves rushed in ,
Then came crashing down.
My mind goes to every area of my life.
I look and see what is there and waiting for me.
I have given up so much for others.
I wonder if someday my time will ever really come.
There has been so much use and abuse.
So much hurt,
So much pain.
I usually can rise above it.
Now my mind just sits and wonders.
I wonder if unconditional love is truly the key.
Tuff love really doesn't work for me.
When I give it I get hurt more.
When I stand up for me,
They always just call me whore.
Whore I laugh,
what do you mean.
You don't even know me.
Then I think it is okay.
I guess I am that and many other things.
Call me whatever you like.
I have been called bitch, slut and cunt.
Maybe you are just jealous of me.
Maybe you can't set yourself free.
My life is full,
But my cup is still half empty.
There is room for more
And I am wanting it.
My mind sits and wonders,
Where will I go,
Where will I end?
It knows it has to regroup,
It knows it can't let anyone in.
