Let Me Out

I sit here alone
Expressionless face
Nobody home
Let me out of this place

I've been here too long
No spark in my soul
My heart sings no song
Let me out of this hole

Sink down deeper
I'm losing all hope
My motivations weaker
Let me out of this mote

With no hope left
I dispose of my thoughts
Rip heart from chest
Let me out of this box

I've screamed and I've pleaded until nothing's left
"Let me out of this hell" whispered through my last breath
