**I want to dream 
Of places and beauty,
People and smiles.
I want to see
The warmth of happiness 
Seep deep within me
Like cool water over a dry throat
And fresh breeze over a flushed face.
I remember your strong hands 
Moving in gentle purses 
Over my warm skin.
Your quiet whispers 
Washing over my ears,
Making me smile.
I want to feel,
But I’m only a girl
Pining after a lost love, 
Basking in her aloneness.**

**You hear them talking,
That’s how it began,
Like little voices in your head 
Whispering fervently 
As if saying a prayer. 
You try to grasp
But fail to reach it
No matter how hard you try. 
So you learn to accept it. 
The you that isn’t you, 
Staring at you in the mirror 
With so much sadness.**

**Do you know the meaning of misery? 
Have you seen the face of pain?
The little cold fingers of despair
Crawling round and round
In your stomach,
Grasping endlessly.
Should I tell you what it means
To be hopeless?
To see the dark shadows of death 
Moving slowly towards you? 
Maybe if you have, 
You'd understand the moanings
Of the depressed. 
And the crys of the anguished. 
Do you want me
To spell it out to you?**

Three very different causes sharing the same core. Reminds me of something not sure if it is a song - "How many ways can I say 'I love you' "
