Entangled

Feeling stuck, like tangled in a web,
Waiting for someone to help me out
Heaviness in heart, scared to death,
Will I ever be able to come out?

People can help but do I dare to ask,
Something whimpering inside me,
A little girl, afraid of the dark,
Praying for a light to come and guide me.

Here I am, holding out my hand,
Feeling around for that one touch
But its slipping away like the sand,
Maybe I am asking for way too much

Will you be there at the end of this road?
Will you be there when I come out?
Will you be there when no one’s there?
Still feeling stuck, like tangled in a web,
Waiting for someone to help me out.
