Right now it hurts too much to
cry.
I can't deal with my pain.
Survival is my current goal,
Forget "No pain, no gain."
But someday when I'm stronger
And life is safer, too,
I'll look inside my hurting
heart
As best as I can do.
And then the special child
That lives inside of me
Will face the pain, injustice,
And the tears can be set free.
I'll cry for the special boy
Whose childhood was lost
To the effort to survive,
I'll cry for what it cost.
I'll cry for others who like me
Craved love instead of strife.
Yes, in time, someday I'll cry,
For tears belong to life.
