The urge to sink below the water

Birddie Jane

You have no idea 

What it's like 

To be me

 

Abused and abandoned

From day one 

Three years with no parents

 

You have no idea

What it's like 

To be me

 

Seventeen years

Of love and care

Only to be hated 

 

You have no idea

What it's like

To be me

 

Twenty one years

Sharing every birthday 

Only to be rejected 

 

You have no idea

What it's like

To be me

 

Nineteen years

Calling you mom and dad

Only to feel like a burden

 

You have no idea 

What it's like

To be me

 

To love a family

To love a world

To love a life

 

You have no idea

What it's like 

To be me

 

When nothing you do

Can ever be enough

To earn their respect

 

You have no idea 

What it's like

To be me

 

To cry so often

That you begin to enjoy

The feeling it gives you

 

You have no idea

What it's like 

To be me

 

To ask for communication

Someone to talk to

Only to be ignored more

 

You have no idea 

What it's like

To be me

 

To be broken hearted

For so long

You don't remember the first break

 

You have no idea

What it's like 

To be me 

 

Lost

Alone

Invisible

 

You have no idea

What it's like 

To be me

 

To cry for Jesus

To want to die today

But you don't believe in suicide

 

You have no idea 

What it's like 

To be Jessica Jane
