Something in this life always tells me that I don’t deserve this
I feel like I’ve been traveling down this road for over 100 years
Ticket for one
Table for one
Life for one
Tonight I dine alone
Tomorrow will probably be the same
So please
Whoever you are
I feel the need to pray
Dear Allah, dear God, dear Buddha or even the Dali Lama
Why is it that I only get a taste of what feels so good?
I just want the chance to eat
The chance to gorge
The chance to indulge in the sweetest gift
That was never under my tree in December
I’ve had it on the tip of my tongue
I’ve had it in the palms of my hands
Just to see it slip away
I scream up at the sky
Not sure who the hell I’m talking to
Why not just once?
Why not me?
Not once in my life
Have I had the pleasure to take part in something that I have capacity to give freely?
Why was this given to me?
Why did you put so many people on this earth just to leave me here all alone?
What is it that you want from me?
What more do I have to do?
To get what I want
To get what I need
From him
From you
From life
Save me from this
Show me that I’m worthy
Don’t leave me here all alone
Don’t leave me here where I’ve been my whole life
Just once
Just one taste
One bite
One life at a table for two
Love is for the the lonely
Money for the poor
Hate is for the insecure
War is for the weak

    yes.....I have the opposite experience of you.....but I have a lot of empathy......you should reach for what you want......I have been suckled on the teet of plenty (but teh lack of love gave me empathy.....and other stuff).....you need to decide what you want and grab it.....even if you think it's out of reach
    ....they're asking me to prove why I should be allowed to stay with my baby in Australia, because I'm mentally ill......and they think I should leave......

    maybe its just my mood this morning, but this almost made me cry. i wish i didn't but i so relate to this... especially this part above.
    You ask me to enter
    But then You make me crawl
    And I can't be holding on
    To what You got
    When all You've got is hurt
    ----
    Underneath this smile lies everything
    All my hopes and anger, pride and shame
