If I Could Write You My Story
If I could write you my story,
Would you care enough to read it?
Or would you toss it aside,
Decide it had too small of print?
If could write you my story,
Would you open up the book?
Glance at the first page,
Decide you just weren't hooked.
If I could write you my story,
Would you believe it to be true?
Or would you call me a liar
Tell me I've made up all the things I've been through?
If you could hear
These voices in my head.
If only you knew
The things they said.
Such profound things
Revelations I have had.
Such disturbed things
Tragedies that have passed.
But you will never know.
Might as well let me go.
You don't care enough to listen.
If I could write you my story,
Would you care enough to read it?
Would you stay up late at night,
Unable to absorb enough of it.
If I could write you my story,
Would you open up the book?
Read down the first page,
And like a fish, get hooked.
