Lights and Cameras (Poem)
Lights
Cameras
Forget about those
Get help with moving on
Love won’t acknowledge who you are
Loss of dreams
Saying you’ll be yourself, but nobody cares
And nobody cares if you are aching
Nobody cares if you’re sad
Nobody cares when you’re mad
They decide to throw you a bone
Depression sets in
Rings in your ear, a pest
Words don’t scare or make me frown
People all around decide to look for the wrong
No one sees who you are inside
Dying to prove the love is true
Everything you used to know, you no longer knew
Saying lights won’t make a change
Saying lights will bring you out of your shell
These lights won’t change you now
These lights won’t get through to you
Nobody cares if you’re all alone
Nobody cares if you need a hand
Nobody cares if you’re hanging on by a strand
Nobody cares if you’re on an island
Brushing all the sand
Nobody cares if your body is aching
Music is playing, but nobody cares who you are
Do you want to be a star?
You cry all night
What’s your dream?
Investing your heart
Trying not to lose you
These lights start changing you
Tell you to put on a fake face
Deep down you are so bright inside
They tell you to make up lies
Put you on TV all for show
But no one knows
These lights won’t scare you
But they do…
Slipping into some world
Saying these lights won’t make you
Saying these lights won’t make you disrespects others
You don’t know who to turn to
The world uses you
Then, abuses you
No longer yourself
You want to be yourself
Saying these lights won’t exchange you
Never will these lights make you turn on the ones who really love you
Light and Cameras…
Cameras
Forget about those
Get help with moving on
Love won’t acknowledge who you are
Loss of dreams
Saying you’ll be yourself, but nobody cares
And nobody cares if you are aching
Nobody cares if you’re sad
Nobody cares when you’re mad
They decide to throw you a bone
Depression sets in
Rings in your ear, a pest
Words don’t scare or make me frown
People all around decide to look for the wrong
No one sees who you are inside
Dying to prove the love is true
Everything you used to know, you no longer knew
Saying lights won’t make a change
Saying lights will bring you out of your shell
These lights won’t change you now
These lights won’t get through to you
Nobody cares if you’re all alone
Nobody cares if you need a hand
Nobody cares if you’re hanging on by a strand
Nobody cares if you’re on an island
Brushing all the sand
Nobody cares if your body is aching
Music is playing, but nobody cares who you are
Do you want to be a star?
You cry all night
What’s your dream?
Investing your heart
Trying not to lose you
These lights start changing you
Tell you to put on a fake face
Deep down you are so bright inside
They tell you to make up lies

Saying these lights won’t make you disrespects others

No longer yourself
You want to be yourself
Saying these lights won’t exchange you
Never will these lights make you turn on the ones who really love you
