I Ask

 There's a cold breeze blowing through my heart today

Nobody listens ,nobody hears me

I didn't ask for much

I wasn't even acknowledged

I guess its' ok it seems to be the normal reaction

Whatever I touch turns to powdered dirt

The silence and avoidance is making me tired

I can't change the dressing on the wounds 

I can't blame anyone for the way they handle me

I can't change that horrible perception

I can honestly say

I won't wear the burden any longer

There's a point in time when it hits real hard

Realizing that the chase is over

There's no way I'll ever be heard

There's no way to be understood

I tried to go about the proper way

Asking for permission for the simple things

That memory I could hold in my hand

It would bring me such joy is that such a crime

The point has been made

Ground rules have been set

I will stay off your lawn

I should have never played on in the first place

I won't chase the memory of yesterday

My mind seeks a better way

To overcome and rise above 

The pettiness that I cannot control
