You Cant Take Me Away
You ask me how im feeling...i reply i feel nothing,
After all of that heartache am i supposed to feel something?,
I shutdown intentionally, i close off the sound,
My eyes focus elsewhere..i cant feel my heart pound,
I live in a world you know nothing about,
While you sit and constantly try to figure me out,
I stare up at the stars, and the clouds in the sky,
I feel the rain on my skin and the wind passing by,
I eat candy and read books and i love to crochet,
I lay down in my bed and i look up and pray,
The silence beckons me to pay attention,
To everything else other than people's attention,
And i run like a child away from the crowd,
To a secret place where i can never be found,
And then my heart starts beating again,
I can love i can feel i can make pretend,
And all my dreams are caught in the moment,
Without any heartache..without being stolen..
