Locked Inside

You're standing calm and still, 
Alone by yourself
Wondering who will fill
The emptiness in your heart.

You can't take the pain,
That's been inside forever.
Your heart has broken once
And cannot go back together.

You're frustrated with all of your thoughts,
And what others think and say.
You're sick of all the fights, 
And want to walk the other way.

You're standing calm and still, 
Alone in your darkened room.
Wondering if you can forget the past
And enjoy the world just as you.

I UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF PAIN AND ALSO OF MOVING ON LIFE DOES GO ON AS LONG AS WE FIGHT
