I stand here waiting for this moment to end
although the forces of time I cannot bend
just wondering why must this happen to me
as my thoughts race quickly
with every word the pain seems to grow
like a deadly arrow being released from a bow
it shoots through my heart and extends my pain
but being calm I must remain
why is it my soul that must be put to the test
and why do they treat me like I am a worthless pest
I stand here waiting to see
if they will start to treat me differently
they do not think that I can hear their terrible words
but I can hear it as clearly as the singing of the birds
I am standing here taking it all in
and cannot wait for the silence to begin
