A Plea
Can you hear me?
Because I thought I heard myself
Maybe I was wrong
Maybe all this pain has caught up
Because I’m just so tired
I’ve been running and fighting for so long
Running from that voice inside my head
Fighting battles that aren’t mine to fight
And then suffering through the ones that are
I’m breaking as the voice grows louder
The wounds are re-opening
And now I’m barely holding back tears
So once I’m all alone I let them flow
But then I ask, why am I like this?
Why can’t I be better or stronger
I’m lying here broken, cold as stone
Can’t feel but I so desperately want to
Take my hand please
Help me
Because I’m sick and I need you
Because I think I might be dying
Because it’s too much
The world is moving to fast
If only I could hit pause
Help me please
I need you
Can you hear me?
Because I think I might be screaming
Haven’t been this way before
And I’m more scared than I was
When those first thoughts came
I can’t breathe, I think I’m drowning
Can you hear me?
Will you hear me?
Please
I don’t mean to be so selfish
I don’t mean to put this on your shoulders
But I don’t think I can do this alone
And I’m sorry if this is too much
I’m sorry I’m broken and I don’t want you feeling bad
I don’t want to spread this pain
I just
I need help
I need you
