The kind of pure heart and pure soul
Caring, sharing, supporting, defending
All for love and unselfish discharge
I wonder what its like to know true love
The kind of pure heart and pure soul
Adoring, fulfilling, accepting, respecting
All for completeness and the need to feel whole
I know what it's like to be all alone
With no one to love and be friends
Ignoring, rejecting, confining, reflecting
On promises broken and dreams with no end
I know what it's like to put it all out
And receive nothing back in return
To give of myself until nothing is left
But self loathing, uncertainty and little concern
I wonder and question, what it's all about
Will I ever be happy and not filled with doubt?
Are people that angry and so self absorbed
They use others and tally their actions rewards
If my life is not mine and my work is for them
Why is it I can't find true love or a friend?
Does everyone only take care of themselves?
Is hunger and sadness destined to stay off of the shelf?
Will the world ever see all the good it can be?
Or will it slowly be taken back by the sea
I would gladly give all, my life, and fall to my knees
If it meant that the human race would be seized
For the earth to take itself back
For the sun and the trees
For the little green bugs
For the giants in seas
For the cold and the clouds
For the birds and the fleas
I would gladly give all of myself
But only it if would please

Very moving!
Painful, transparent, and raw. It is uneasy to read, but that is its beauty.
