Someone Will Care

By: Carol Huber

I'm all alone here
Except what's in the mirror
I have to be quiet
And never run riot
I won't cry, won't pout
Won't let anything out
I never get mad, I try not to be bad

If I'm good enough, someone will love me
If I'm good enough, someone will care
If I don't cry at night
If I don't ask for light
If I'm good then someone will be there

I'm all alone here
Nothing's left in the mirror
I've learned to be quiet
And never run riot
I don't cry, don't pout
Don't let anything out
I never get mad, have forgotten I'm sad

I've been good and still nobody love me
I've been good and still nobody cares
I asked no one's direction
Asked no one's attention
I've been good and still nobody's there

I'm not alone here
There is me in the mirror
I'm learning to be
Someone I will like – me
All these changes are tough
Still I want it enough
I can change, I can dream
I can build what I've seen

I am me and that's someone who loves me
I am me and that's someone who cares
When I look in the mirror
I see me growing clearer
When I look, I know I will be there
