THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...)
Ric Candor ©1998
I just want someone to care the way I care
giving everything and always being there
I don't ask for anything I don't give
but lonely is this life I live
I'm told I give too much
it scares people away
or just attracts the users
and cruel games they play
but I don't want to change
I love the way I am
I just want someone else
to truly understand
I'm pointed to religion
it seems just like a drug
people talking about goodness
they're afraid of a hug
what good are all the words
if they're afraid of love
I just want someone to share
the dream we all dream of
I'm pointed to counselling
to help me fit in
people talking about loving
they're afraid to begin
what good are all the words
if they're afraid of deeds
I just want someone to share
all a true heart needs
I'm told I'm too innocent
too naive and too trusting
I am pitied or put down or ignored
but I've tried all the games
socializing with grown ups
leaves me unfulfilled and sorry and bored
I just don't need the fears
I can stand all the pain that might come
rejection and betrayal and selfish usery
don't scare me as much as going numb
I can survive anything
except shutting myself down
I see the norm as benign suicide
that's why you may see a frown
love is a verb...
not a noun
I just want someone to see the way I see
sharing everything and being all we can be
I don't ask for anything I don't do
I just want someone who feels this way too
someone...
who is true
someone...
you?
Someone
