I have spent years waiting

Waiting to smile

Waiting to laugh

I have spent years waiting

Sometimes I try to speak

I try to express myself

But no one hears

No one answers

I am hurting

I fear myself

And what I am capable of

I do not need big words

Fancy fonts

or a catchy title

I just need someone to hear me 

Hear me now

When will I get so tired that I end it all

When will someone stop me and say

"I love you"

"I care about you"

"You benefit this world"

I just want to feel appreciated

By someone

Yet that never happens

So I will keep waiting...
