Heavy

Everything's so heavy
I can't control my mind
I'm looking for a savior
that I can't seem to find.

Endless thoughts keeping me up
please, let me fall asleep.
My head is full of problems
and promises that I can't keep.

I try to hide my tears
behind fake smiles and laughs
dusty books of poetry
and fading photographs

Now I'm picking up the pieces
the shambles of my heart
My fingers tracing little marks
the cuts left by a shard.

I need to hide these scars
can't let the others see
They just wouldn't understand
what loneliness has done to me


Why do I have to worry
I just want to hide
from all the pain and all the suffering
that keeps me up at night

I want to burn my sorrow
or drown it in the sea
Rip it into little shreds
till nothing's left to stop me

Raindrops on my skin
dark clouds above my head
I wish my fears would go away
I wish I could be dead
