Never Let Go

Mark Anthony Schroettner 1967 (Bethlehem, PA)

I see this hurt in your eyes
What can be done,
What can I do?
I see that family are letting you down
You don't want to stay,
It shouldn't be this way.

Listen
People are people and it's the way it is
It hurts even more because they're family
Please don't let it hurt
Sometimes they make you feel like dirt.

Open your heart
You will never change the way they think
You have to change the way you feel
Keep in mind that you have dreams
And never let go.
