hello
is anyone there?
i'm afraid to come out
but...
i'm tired of being alone
i'm sitting in the corner of this attic
the night sky so bright outside
yet none of those stars sparkling radiance come in
i wonder why.....?
oh....its because of the curtains
i want to move them
but i can't get up
i want to get out
but i can't work up the courage
the door's locked
and i have the key
that damned silver key
i want to open it
but i can't.
why?
i wonder how i got here?
i don't remember.
why don't i remember?
when did my calm attic ,
when did it turn,
turn into this dark nightmare?
i want to get out but i can't.
i'm tired.
i want to sleep.
but i'm scared.
i used to love sleeping
to close my eyes and relax.
why don't i anymore?
hello is anyone there?
anyone?
please save me.
i've been here for so long.
i'm used to this dark scary attic.
but i'm tired.
i wanna sleep.
i'm so tired.
i don't know where my demons came from.
i never noticed them creep in.
creep into my lovely attic.
the only place in the world that i loved.
i wonder ?
did'nt anybody see them creep in.
or were they already here?
i don't know.
i've been here for so long.
did'nt anybody notice?
did'nt they realize that i'm missing.
that i'm lost.
and can't find my way back.
i want to look out of the window,
to see the stars.
i want to open this door.
to open it.
and walk on the grassy earth.
i want to laugh.
a laugh.
a wholehearted laugh.
a laugh at the end of which i'm not reminded,
reminded of my sad self.
i want to get up.
but i'm frozen and numb from fear.
can someone?
anyone?
stretch their hand out?
to help me.
help me get up.
help me find myself.
