I Never Thought (Free verse) by TLRufener
I thought that I could make
That I could change the world
I wanted to be the first one
To hold their flag unfurled
I never thought I would see the end
I never thought I would crash burn
I always thought I could prove them wrong
I never thought that I would lose my turn
All I wanted was a chance to prove myself
To show them all that I could do
I wanted to change their opinion of me
I wanted them all to see the truth
I opened up my heart and soul
And showed it to the bitter world
They shot me down right where I stood
Leaving my hopes and dreams curled
I never thought they could be so cruel
I never thought that my dream was wrong
I always thought I was doing the right thing
I never thought it would hurt so long
Shouts and screams and laughter were had
I never knew all the things they could say
My heart has never hurt so much before
My tears are falling because the words stay
I am so sick of everyone judging me
Trying to think that they can figure me out
Laughing at me saying I am a big joke
They never hear my inner cries and shouts
I never thought my life would end like this
I never thought I would run away and hide
I always thought that I was the stronger one
I never thought I could keep this all locked inside
