reality

Alone

Alone in the dark
Cold and trapped
Can't get out of this nightmare

Arguments get started

I just want to hide

"I didn't mean too
I promise"

Lying in my room
Overwhelmed

Sitting on the floor
Don't see myself

Try to keep the peace
But I get terrorized

Keep calm
Angered voices

Don't talk
Hide away
Hearing yelling in the dark

I try to stay in safety
My own little cave

But the darkness devours me
Alone
Afraid

Hiding from my family
Hiding from the day

I can't handle expectations
But reality is brutal

Don't seem to fit in
Even when
The people say they care

I feel like the tourtise
In the reality where he fails
Against the hare

Being mocked
Thrown away

Alone in the dark
Cold and trapped
Can't escape this place

So I force a laugh
Pretend I'm alright
As I hide from the light

Last time it got to near I got hurt
So I avoid in the "safety"
Of the pain and sorrow
Guilt and betrayal

I'm broken
Everyone has flaws

I hide because I can't stand the pain
Of "friends" leaving me
To lay and waste

They get their own life
Watching others suffer

Rubbing the dirt of false hope
On the wounds of the hopeless

Putting them "back together"
Yet ignoring the nails they left in the clay

Leaving them alone in the dark
Still broken
Still hopeless
