Teardrops fall,

Teardrops fall,
hearts are broken with words.
Could anyone
learn to love a girl like me?
All alone,
yet surrounded by life's problems,
I can't give up,
there's a race I'm meant to run.

Working hard,
my efforts seeming foolish,
Bruised and scarred
by the words of untamed mouths,
I must go on,
there's a light out in the darkness;
It's that light
that I'm striving now to reach.

Found that light,
it's warmer than a fire.
Wrapped in love,
it'll heal the hurt and pain.
I must live,
I want to share that love
With the ones
who are hurting like I was.
