Dreamer

I always listen to your crap
All the words that you bend and snap
The pain is alway aimed towards me
But that you can't see

So I try to stay
But it doesn't always work out that way
I try to say I'm ok
Why can't you understand that's my act to get through the day?

So I scream
And maybe I can only dream
Trying to stand up to this balance beam
Yet my dreams are bigger then they seem

I wonder what I do wrong
I'm trying to be strong
But I can only wonder the questions that stay in my head
Are words really better off unsaid

So I will try to awake from this night mare
But a dream is an equal dare
When will you hear me?
Will I ever be what you want me to be?
