Just Disappear

There are those nights when I'm proud of what I write

My stories, my poems, my homework even

They're the most important things

They're my escaped from reality, 

Maybe even my chance to make a difference

Then there are those other nights

The nights when I wish for everything and everyone to go away

Just disappear

Those nights hope for the storm to rage outside my window

Those are the nights when I wouldn't mind watching the world crumble

The nights when I have to fight to get up and not stumble

Those are the nights I'd wish you'd hold me,

Offer me some comfort

Hold my hand as I move out and into the world, or the opposite, 

Hold me back from the world so I can

Just disappear

Don't ever let me see the world

Keep me away, tucked out of sight in safety

Those nights I'm convinced no one can save me

Please save me

I'm going crazy,

I'm begging

Just save me

Before I just disappear
