41. A Person at Last

No matter how hard I try to forget,

My mind won’t let me lose this regret.

I try as I can to now move on,

But these thoughts are never gone.

I want to have it ‘straight’ in mind.

There’s nothing but to leave it behind.

Please Lord help me keep on moving,

Give my confused head some soothing.

Don’t let me keep living my past,

Help me be a person at last.

6. Human to You?

I just want someone to care.

Is that so much to ask?

Please at my heart don’t tear!

Being nice is my only task.

Am I really that ugly,

That you must treat me so?

Is it so hard to stand me,

When I’m a human, like you, you know?

Why do you hate me so much?

Why is everything wrong I do?

Is coldness sent from my touch?

Why do I not seem human to you?
