• You cast your eyes down
    As I plead my needs
    To be looked upon as a girl
    Or ever even seen

    I grew of my own will
    Became what I desired
    You never even had a hand
    In shaping who I am

    But I need you to see
    What this cold world has made of me
    Through all the hardships and misdeeds
    That were to fall on me

    I ask only that you see
    For I am now the better
    I ask only that you know
    You have done not for me

    Your love an absence in my life
    But still yet I strive
    To show you what I am
    To impress on what was not

    I worked so very hard
    And the better I became
    But your minds do not change
    And I in your eyes I remain
    Nothing

    Even as I stain
    The earth far below
    The tower which I lain
    And yet I remain
    Nothing..
