Crying Out For Help
Isn't it sad how people cry out for help and the tears get ignored
No one to help us find the missing pieces to the jigsaw
I need help, but no one is Willing to give a hand
When I cry out for help, I get called weak because I'm a man
Mental health remains taboo to talk about
Caged in with depression, and they don't want me to let my thoughts out
There's a long road ahead, with no short route
I'm trapped inside these 4 walls and I can't walk out
Tell me everything will be okay, I need that lie
I need that fake positivity in my life
I'm on my knees, looking at the sky
With no one to wipe away the tears I cry
My pen is screaming, my pen's breaking
Staring at the blade, trying to fight the temptation
My demons are calling but I'm trying to keep them waiting
If I relapse with self-harm, could you forgive me for enjoying the sensation?
5 years free from self-harm, but what if I have a weak moment?
For 10 years, depression has been my opponent
I'm fighting with all my strength, but I'm scared it's about to beat me
Told people I'm bipolar and they chose to leave me
Why didn't my dad want me? Why wasn't I enough?
Why wasn't I as important as the alcohol in his cup?
Why did my mum choose him over me?
Why am I not worthy of a hug?
Holding the world up has left my shoulders bruised
My hearts broken, because it's been over used
No one cherished it, they all left it in pieces
Now you can live in my world, because that's the death of my secrets
Isn't it sad how people cry out for help and the tears get ignored
No one to help us find the missing pieces to the jigsaw
I need help, but no one is Willing to give a hand
When I cry out for help, I get called weak because I'm a man
