IWAITINTHEDARKNESS

I've always wanted to know,
What is it like to hear a friend's voice,
And to answer him.
I've always wanted to hear,
The songs of the birds in the park and sing back.
I've always wanted to answer a question I knew,
Not to sit down,
Trying to communicate with my hands and,
help me look up to myself,
even though i prefer to be dead.
Don't misunderstand me,
Am I not human too?
Realize that I can still see you,
kindling the fire,
not trying to keep me cold and waiting.
even though I prefer to be dead.
Seeing but not hearing,
Seeing but not speaking....
