I havent smiled in days,
Maybe I dont want to,
Maybe this time,
Im tired of fighting off the dark,
Maybe this time,
I want to let it consume me,
My head is a dark,
Winding catacome,
Of self hate,
And fear,
Maybe im done,
But maybe I want to save myself,
Ive been saying how but no one listens,
Ill say it till my face turns blue,
Or it finally happens,
I want out,
I want out,
I want out,
The phrase banging at the core of my brain,
I want out
out of this house,
out of this school,
out of this life,
out of this cage,
This invisble cage of forced reliance,
On these,
These people,
These strangers,
They make themselves scarce,
Then come home,
And think its still the same,
Think that I need them still,
Even after nights of being alone,
Or taking care of my brother,
Although younger than him,
Im older than I was yesterday,
Im more independent,
I have a mind of my own,
I have a free spirit,
So why trap me so,
I want out,
I want out,
I need out.
