Alone

Why am I crying

Alone on my floor?

Stuck here on my own

Behind my closed door.

I want to get out

Away from my bed,

But you can't run away

From the thoughts in your head.

I try to escape

And I try to be free,

But the voice in my head

Won't stop taunting me.

I try to relax

And I try not to think,

But my mind is an ocean

And I'm starting to sink.

I'm trying to swim,

But there is no way out.

In my ocean of worries

All I can do is shout.

"Someone please help me,

I'm trapped in my fear!"

But no one can help me,

They can't even hear.

So I sit here alone,

On my floor, in my bed.

And I try to ignore

All the thoughts in my head.

I turn on my music

And hope that will help.

I turn on a movie,

Take a book from the shelf.

And I try to distract

From the pain trapped inside,

And I try to ignore

All the tears that I cried.

I want to get out

Away from my bed,

But you can't run away

From the thoughts in your head.
