Thoughts of Mine
by (unknown)
When I am laying in my bed
All sorts of thoughts run through my head
Why me? Why here?
I shouldn't be here in care
'Why?' is the question
We ask ourselves
But no-one can give us any answers,
Only ourselves
Some we'll never know,
Some we don't need to know
But how do we know?
If we can't let it show
Coz we feel no-one
Needs to know
Nearly 19 with nowhere to go
How will I cope?
I just don't know.
All I ever wanted was
Someone to be there
And to know
They won't go nowhere.
