Affection by Christina Raye Sweet sixteen in a haze of sadness life filled with distress I must confess can't understand why no one wants to show affection it feels like rejection days go by without any hint of love what have I done? Feels like I've been shunned the dark I try to fight for any sign of light only blurs in my vision n I start to slur motherly love transient always in absent give me affection is what im askin the look in your eyes reflect the effects of hate unable to validate myself as a candidate for your approval unconditional love supposedly self-explanatory never really was their forte all I wanted was some love for me some affection but always rejection never good enough but I kept myself up never let them keep me down wait for the day when jeers become cheers give me an exception so I can receive your affection to give me the drive I need to survive to escape the desolate road of disregard and find the path of utopia. |
