I long for

I long for people to speak the truth
Not just to me but everyone
The truth hurts
But lies hurt even more

I long for my best friend
For our fight to cease
And to be able to talk to her
In the hardest of times

I long for the pain to leave
From my broken heart
But I guess it will stay
And leave when it is ready

I long for your name
On my caller I D
But maybe this would be easier
If we continued to ignore each other

I long for life to be normal
Which I don’t know what normal is
Because when it was normal
You were there with me

I long for the world to hear
The word of God
Then maybe there would be no more shootings
And no more war

I long for my voice to be heard
And for people to respect my opinions
About this world that we live in
And the pain that we share

I long for people to understand
My morals in which I live by
The way that I live
And my beliefs on being a teen

Yet I know that these things won’t happen
Because of my age
And my background
But a girl can dream can’t she?
