There's only one person on this earth for me
And those who hate me want to make it worse for me
Trying to smear it until there's only dirt to see
I pray to be stronger than they will ever be
Everyday all I want is to be free
To liberate my mind is to hold onto my dreams
Sometimes I start to lose hope
When the stress makes me choke
Everyday, I try to make it through
Wondering if what I believe in is true
And I remember fighting for the same things
Yet here I am in the same place
How did I get here again?
I try so hard to hold onto hope
Because its all I have
And it feels like I'm walking a tight rope
Tears in my eyes, but I'm choking because I'm mad
It's a different fight in the same war
I'm angry at life and at the world
Please give me a light, because I'm in the dark
Falling apart from this pain in my heart
There's only one person for me on this earth
And it is by her that I know my own worth
Please don't let it turn into lies
I'm not ashamed to admit, I'm terrified
Please tell me that it's not too late
Tell me that you are truly my soulmate
George Manes, 1999
