Prince Albert's blog: "childhood lost "

understand me, that's all i ask

comfort me when i am in pain,

lift my chin when i feel ashamed

realize the emotions that i claim

realize that they can't be cast away

but you couldn't do that.

feel me that's all i want

realize the person that i am

don't focus on the bad

don't turn your back

and don't start an attack

yet you ignore my touch

love me that's what i cry

come to my games, be proud of me

don't be indifferent to my pleas

see the person i want to be

and shape me with your expertise

yet you make me want to die

listen to me, what i say

hear about the things i enjoy

don't treat my words like a ploy

i don't mean to interrupt or annoy

my life's not a game, I'm not a toy.

yet you orchestrate me in your play

see me, look into my soul

see me for what i am

not some rebellious sham

look from where i stand

look at me like I'm a man

but you eyes are distant and cold

when i leave, miss me dear

a crushed childhood is hard to replace

but i have found a brand new place

one where i can live the way i want

where my ideas are accepted and my will is tough

somewhere i can fit into place

where love doesn't leave a bittersweet taste

its too bad we ended up this way

there are so many things that i wish to say

so much knowledge i could have gained

so many good times we could have shared

much less heartbreak for us to bear

but you made your message clear

so silently i sit and pray

waiting for the impossible day

when you will come to see who Ive become

and beam with pride that's fueled by love
