if I thought begging would get me anywhere,
I would do it. gladly, loudly. 
over and over. 
if I thought you would listen for a moment,
I would speak. beg, plead. 
over and over. 
if I thought I could change something, 
I would do it. little, by little.
over and over. 

but all my begging, 
all my speaking, 
all my glad, loud pleading,
all the things I would change,
always ends the same.
over and over.
