A piece of me lies weeping on the floor
Crying out for help
But no one hearsGive me back my love
Give me back my lover
Give me back my family
My father and my motherGive me back the butterflies
That danced when he held my hand
And brushed his fingers softly on my cheekGive me back the joy I felt
Running through the grass
Feeling the suns warmth upon my skinGive me back the mornings I would
Feel awake and aliveGive me back the feelings
Of anything other than
Empty
Alone
Afraid
Unsure
Uneasy
And unwelcome in my own skinGive me back my home
Please
Give it back
