I am an Observer
I am an observer who’s seen society’s true face
I wonder why few believe while many have lost their way
I hear the cries for help as they echo through the gutters
I see the harm we cause to ourselves and others
I want to wake up and realize this is just a dream
I am an observer who’s seen society’s true face
I pretend everyday while saying I’m okay
I feel pain and only pain to the point where I am numb
I’ve touched the scares left by life
I worry that they will never truly heal
I cry inside, for enough tears have been shed
I am an observer who’s seen society’s true face
I understand only that I can never understand
I speak the truth to those with open ears and endless minds
I dream of the day I can finally rest
I try and try to make it through
I hope one day to regain my ability to hope
I am an observer who’s seen society’s true face

I wholeheartedly agree with poet100. It's simple and direct, and it has such a powerful meaning. GREAT job. I especially love these lines:
"I understand only that I can never understand

I try and try to make it through
I hope one day to regain my ability to hope

^LOVE!!!
