I cry, I sigh

I cry for the absurdities of things
 the way a cage bird sings
the slow sad song of their despair
that no matter how loud they are
no one really stays long enough to care.

I cry for the pain in my heart
of the unfulfilled hopes of a new start
that maybe this time I learn for good
all the lessons I know should

I cry for the people who I cannot make right
for the father who used to hold me so tight
for my mother who never takes a break from trying her best
even when god throws her the hardest of tests.

I cry for all the girls who don't think their enough
for those unworthy boys who think their so tough
who get stuck with babies and bills and sores
pondering of what life will now have in store.

and sitting here thinking of how free I could be
If I just left all this baggage that was forced upon me
I'd head for the moutains, the hills or the seas
fulfilling that fate of uncertainty.

but then I rememebr how I will be missed
how I wont forgive myself if I wasnt there to recive my mothers last kiss
how life wasnt made easy, so I should stop expecting anything else
I must do whats right and stick it out with people who are worth more then wealth.

So I cry for the pain I endure from this life
but I sigh soon there after, knowing what i've got is more then suffice.
