When I needed you

Today was a very hard day for me

We all have days like this, I think you might agree

It took everything for me just to get out of bed

Just thinking about the day ahead

Filled me with absolute dread!

 

As I went about my day it just got worse

I wished the entire day to be wiped from the universe

I felt like the whole world was against me

I wanted to run away, but my feet were rooted like a tree

In my head, I was screaming and going crazy

But on the outside, I was still the same old me

 

I was sick and tired of it all

If I drank I would have drowned myself in alcohol

And just sit back and watch my own downfall

Instead, I put on a brave face and carry on with my day

When what I really wanted

Was for you to come and take me away

 

Everything in me was telling me to give up

To let go and just welcome the darkness

The amount of time I almost give in is countless

I search for you, but you weren't there to save me

I need to hear your voice so that I can break free

From the voices in my head that were trying to destroy me

 

When I really needed you, you weren't there

I started to think you didn't care

My day was fast going downhill

The demons in my head just wouldn't keep still

Today I needed you, I really did

I was relying on you to save me

But I realise something that can truly free me


The only person that can save me is me.
