Lost

Look into my eyes and you will see 
How my soul is so empty 
Their is no one home inside of there 
All as you can see I do is stare 
My restraints hold me down in place 
As I keep staring off into space 
Still in this sedated state 
I can hear you talking to me 
Saying how someday I will be free 
From this ward and psychiatric place 
And that I am not here to waste away in my mental state 
I want to talk and tell you how I feel 
And what got me to this point is such a big deal 
I have really went through an ordeal 
I really want to squeal 
But I can't and lay here motionless 
I feel so useless 
What can I do? 
What can I say? 
Am I going to pass away? 
Or live and fight for another day?

Why Is that? Writers block? Free your mind the words will follow...all you have to do is become what you write...know this well and tell it well, like it's your own biography. Like you know it like the back of your own hand...this will help you
