In my head

I live a life of pain and fear,
I dare not try to shed a tear.
To tell you the truth and let you in,
You would see my life of lies and sin.

I don’t want to hurt you, I just try to give love,
To you I’m your angel, sent from above.
But my heart is heavy and body is tired,
My mind screams out that it’s expired. 

I want it to end, be over, just fly,
To a peaceful place up in the sky.
Be a bird who’s wings can touch the clouds, 
But such is a dream that I’m not allowed.

I need to fight, be strong, don’t give in,
I can rid my life of this pain and this sin.
Be your angel once more, but not from above,
Walk with you today in our garden of love.

You are my friend, by my side you will stay,
All you want is my happiness, and so I pray,
That I can end this battle, the war of two sides,
So I’ll tell you the truth, in you I’ll confide.
