The Way I Feel Inside



All of my life I've wanted to hear
"I'm proud of you"
"I love you"
But that will never happen because
no one believes in me.
I've been a failure my whole life.
I've made mistakes that I cannot
make right.

I wanted to be treated like I'm
somebody worthwhile,
Not yelled at or screamed at.
All I want at least once in
my life, is a pat on the back
and a little smile.
I want to know that I am loved by
someone on earth and not just from
God above.

I want someone to be proud of me
for things I've overcome or for
just being me!
For what people don't realize
or maybe just don't see is
I have feelings to.
I hurt inside just like you.

Someday I want to help people,
to do something great,
to at least get a gracious smile and
a word of "Thanks."
Even if it's not my from my own family
it will mean just as much,
if not more to me.
