A lost and terrified little girl
In a big world all alone
Days pass and I keep wondering
How much more can I take in?
When I try come to my senses
I just feel lost everytime
The voices in my head are so loud
Sometimes they echo in my dreams
Take a look at my shadow
It grows bigger and scarier everyday
People say there's a bright side to life
They just don't get it
My shadow swallows me
And transforms into a huge monster
My heart is pounding
My head is spinning
My body is trembling
And my hands are shaking
My smiles hides all my sadness
My laugh hides all my loud sobs
I've hidden so many tears in my eyes
Can someone please help me?
Make the pain go away
I can't stand feeling this way,
One more day
I would leave me if I could
I keep my head bent low
Looking around, it looks like
I have nowhere to go
I try but I can't really explain all the pain
Ever felt when the your day
Suddenly becomes alright
But then the world suddenly hits you
With all it's might?
I would leave me if I could
I tell the voices to go away
Shouting out loud, people think I'm crazy
Maybe I might be crazy?
Maybe I might have lost my sanity?
The life I am supposedly living?
I don't remember asking for this life
A lot of people won't understand
I am in no control over myself
Always committed to people's feelings
Especially the ones I should not be missing
But never my own feelings
My heart still beats but it's been through a lot
It is my weakest muscle
Each time I cry uncontrollablly
It often feels like I might be dying
My tiny heart has been bruised too much
Choices and regrets filled in my head
I just keep waiting for the day
For when all this pain will go away
But what if I finally decide to break?
Who's going to fill the empty space I leave behind?
Maybe it does not need to be
For I was never needed in the first place
Can someone please help me?
I'm down on my knees crying again
I'm helpless, I am scared
Yet I have no hope that anyone will see
Can someone please help me?
Make the pain go away
I can't stand feeling this way
I would leave me if I could
