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..
