All I ever wanted was to be accepted…
For whom I really was
Not a useless toy broken and traded
I see life through the eyes of the jaded
All I ever wanted was a place…
That I could truly call home
To really sleep without waking at every single whisper of history unraveled
Within the depths my soul grappled
All I ever wanted was love…
To be seen as a treasure
Not just a passing pleasure
I refuse to wither away
To just walk into every ploy
To tread on my misshapen pasts
And find a place where I may finally collapse
I've stood tall for years without grieving regrets and shame
I now believe I've outshone my name
Lonely I have waited
Crowded as I pass
I've seen the wonders of the people
Crash and burn yet seen them build again
Growing stronger as they learn
I've seen titans crumble and fall
Seen the heroes that weren't heroes at all
All I ever wanted was a life of peace and joy
Yet here I stride, forever to be fate's toy.
