One Good Reason, by No Child Is Innocent Once Born Subscribe to rss feed for No Child Is Innocent Once Born

Give me one good reason why I should stay.
Wait around and be ridiculed another day.
Give me one good reason why I should remain
When everyone else sees sunshine I see rain

Give me one good reason why I should stand tall
When all I want to do is curl up in a ball
Give me one good reason why I should fight
You aren’t the one who cries each night.

Give me one good reason why I should smile
When all I want to do is cry for a while
Give me one good reason why I should laugh
When everyone here knows my past.

well i like this one a lot and i disagree with just james... i think that writing about depression and getting everything out in the open helps a little. Writing about happiness when you're not happy seems a little unfaithful to your writing. --AUSTIN
