Closed Ears

I'm screaming into closed ears, no one understands How i feel or what's in my heart, I've got no helping hand Because I'm so messed up but no one will listen when i say so I've tried so hard to fix myself and everyone acts like they don't know They don't care that I'm losing myself faster than a flying bullet I'm walking on a tight-thin rope, no safety net to catch my heart, it wouldn't matter though because, I'd fall right through it And I'd fall face first because that's the only luck I've got I try to speak, No more words catch the surface because my nerves are so shot And It's sitting there in my lungs but, What's it matter when it's no use It's been like this for years and it won't cut loose I can no longer get my words out, they sit there, like a stubborn stain And it seems the more I try and keep my cool, the more it drives my whole body insane So what can i do when no words or gestures can make anything alright? I'm wrestling with my body, heart, mind and spirit and I can tell I'm losing the fight So what can I do when I'm screaming into closed ears and no one understands? When I don't care how I feel or what's in my heart? I've got no helping hand

A year has passed and you are still standing. You are much stronger than you give yourself credit for.
