The Battle In My Life

I cry silently every day.  
When I go to bed, I cry myself to sleep.  
My tears flow like raindrops in a tropic storm.  
My feelings are the hurricane.  
 
Don't get my depression confused with laziness.  
And don't get my life's confusion mixed up with rudeness.  
 
I fight my own battles every day  
for a reason to stay alive.  
It's in my nature to roam and explore  
new places I've never seen before.  
 
It urts so much to be forced at home  
in a town where I don't want to be.  
I feel like a bird trapped in a cage.  
Will you please let me be free?  
 
There is a place I've wanted to go  
since I was 3.  
I'm doing nothing but disappointing my family.  
I know in my heart,  
my future will go far;  
if you would just believe in me.  
I need your love and support.
