Connection

I'm screaming

right up in your face

I'm banging on the door

and all over the place

I just want a connection

a human touch

a word, a phrase

I'm not asking for much

We could talk

we could be friends

together we would laugh

and be ourselves again

But addiction has you

pulling you away

controlling your mind

the lies grow everyday

I wish no one gave it to you

it took away my dreams

of living with connection

it is pulling you from the seams

You're so young

your mind is to mold

There's so much I want to tell you

before you grow old

I just want to communicate

But it's the screens of today

that seem more important

than what I have to say

So I will keep trying

and I will hope and pray

that one day you will disconnect

so we could connect someday
