Why Am I Dirty
It hurts, because you're beautiful.
It hurts, because you're not good enough.
It hurts, because you say the wrong thing.
It hurts, because you love him more than anything.
You give him your best, in everything you do.
You smile and you hug him, to love him like new.
You stay up at night, just crying out to God..
For the love in your heart, is not stiff as a board.
You look at yourself, in the mirror and think..
Why am I dirty and covered in stink...
I have a nice body and I dress to impress...
Yet my heart is abandoned and he cares not about my dress.
When you see me outside, I am happy as a lark..
For buried in a cocoon, is the pain in the dark.
How much I can bear, I no longer decide..
For verily, verily, I ride with the tide.
My feet are getting hard, from walking miles across the floor..
And I look out the window, with my ear to the door.
The night is fast approaching and I am cold inside.
But with every ounce of strength, I pray for mercy's guide.
