Let Me Go

Let Me Go! I don't want this anymore! I can't go to sleep at night, all I seem to do is write. Sometimes I read... I read until I finish. When I finally go to sleep, I hear the sound of the alarm "BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!" Oh gosh, I can't handle this anymore. I am going crazy here and no one seems to notice it, my dear. I cry myself to sleep. telling myself everything will get better. BUT IT DOESN'T! And I know I mustn't but I want that knife just as much as I want that gun I hate this world and everything about this girl She sings and tries to get attention yet no one gives her the time of day. She falls into the books she reads no one knowing, it is escaping, she pleads. This girl is me, oh but you knew, right? Since all I ever talk about is me! Gosh, can't you see? I'm my enemy! I'm my own nightmare! No one is hurting me! It is me who shouldn't be let free! Lock me up! Kill me! That way I won't harm myself... I'd like it if it was someone else Please, do me the favor and let me go for no one can save this girl from this cruel world.
