MaryA Poem by Edward MartinThese are words I would speak to my guardian angel.All for you, Tell me I belong Can't convince myself Tell me I belong Feel so out of place Don't fit any shapes Staring into space, Tell me I belong Some aren't meant to. Take their own lives, Inside the walls of their own minds, Pressures building, No more outlets, No one listens, Lonely victims, Dig their own grave, Is this my way? Tell me I belong Even in a crowd Walking all alone. Tell me I belong Will I make the grade? I'm a paperweight. Sitting ever so still. Tell me I belong I'll believe it's true. Hearing it from something that isn't meant to brood. Conjure up the lyrics and give them to my muse Let her sing the song to me before I tie the noose. Tell me I belong, Tell me that it's true, Tell me that my actions are what I came to do Tell me that the end is in front of heavens gate. Tell me on my deathbed my secrets are all safe.
