NO ONE NOTICED

I have been wearing a smile
Fooling myself that I am happy
Do not want people to see my fear
I am trapped and drowning

I tried to make amends with myself
I am strong, so everyone can see
Hoping that someone will love me
My story will have a happy end

I could give my whole heart away
I would gamble with what I have
To that person who is right for me
I could never hold back for love

All I hope is if someone would come for me
Take me home and make me smile again
But it seems I am walking in circle
And can not find the path to my heart

People do not care, but judge me from afar
This I could tell, no matter how much disguise they wear
Wish life is much easier like it is told in fairy tale
The world would have be better having friends

Yet no one noticed how I struggled to survive
In a world crowded with selfish  minds
They only seek for personal affection
For the things they will kill to have

FIVE IMPORTANT LESSONS PEOPLE LEARN TOO LATE IN LIFE

LITTLE GIRL

Little girl

Left out to fend by her self

She cries out in the depth of the night

For a kiss and a bed time hug

For a mother's unprecedented love

But there is no one out there that heed to her call

What could she have done to deserve this cruelty?

Of a world lust for wealth and power 

No one cares in the world any more 

No one cares how many tears she cries

I can not tell you not to hate the world

I can't blame you for being sarcastic to every one

Oh little girl, it is almost time for the sun to be up

Let him hold your hand and lite your smile

You can become great, prove the world wrong

It saddens the heart that your father rejected you

And your mother could not help but abandon you

This made you grow up without a family but all alone

I am sorry, my words might not be comforting

Can you allow the flower in your heart to be tendered?

Open your heart to forgive and forget

I know you are strong, you are a brave little girl

I pray you find the courage to move on

Prove to the world that you are now grown up
