A song close to my heart...

The girl who wants to make you laugh,
or the child that makes you cry.
The words that come out thru’ your eyes,
the tears that make you smile.

Tell me - have you ever smiled on tears,
and emotions - that teach you nothing but lies..
have you ever tried to love?
Ever tried to fly??

Tell me ’cause I’m a lonely traveller,
In a land more beautiful than dreams.
Tell me - so that I take back the gift,
- a souvenir of dreams..

Always tried - tried..to be a human
-cried when the child cried,
-wanted always to be oh human,
-turned out to be a machine..

Have always wanted to share my love,
have always been too shy..
Always wanted to share with everyone,
But - failure makes me die..

Save me ”cause I am a lonely traveller,
In a land of barriers and screams.
Save me ’cause I have loved everyone,
In your land - stranger than dreams..

    This is perfect - I felt exactly that way as a teen/twenties. Didn't at some point. Great choice. Shah .X

    I agree with Pete, I like it. I think as a teen, which was many years ago, I felt the shy part, I was always so shy...

    You know I love your poems but I have to say this is my favorite so far.

    Save me ”cause I am a lonely traveller,
    In a land of barriers and screams.
    Save me ’cause I have loved everyone,
    In your land - stranger than dreams.. So beautiful.

    reminds me a little of that psalm from the bible, "...though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil..."
