Silent Siren
you want to be loved
you love to be loved
but in amongst the mess that is love
you only get abused
just a young insecure child
taking a daily course of getting used
with your heavy make-up
and clothes that never really fit
your turn a million eyes
but you do not encourage respect
you never scale the heights
you want to be loved
you are full of confused messages
James Garratt – April 1999
