My Prison

My heart is in a prison of sadness which I can not escape
No matter how much I pull the bars of unhappiness they will not brake
What will it take to set me free?
Do you have the key to my door? 
Open it so I can be free once more, free from this prison because to loneliness I am a slave
and though I never misbehave I am beaten with sadness every day
Please take these chins away from me they are heavy with pain and tears 
But if you really care for me take away my fears
Show me that love is something real
Tell me what it is
Show me how it feels
Surround me with happiness, love joy and peace 
I need them all if my life is to be complete 
My heart is in a prison 
Will you be the one to help it escape?
