Reach Out
I've had a phone on me since I was eight
It was my pacifier for with it I'd drift to sleep
Amidst the pain that I was in
Cause it helped escape my reality
I had a phone on me since I was eight
Cause mum couldn't always keep up with my energy
And because I moved alot, one hospital to another
Phone was the only thing contant other than pain
This made me stick to games and I got better at it
I liked the challenge it always brought to me
It was like despite the obstacle
I'd make my share of mistakes and find my way
It was my peace of mind away from sanity
Cause when you confined in four gloomy walls
Your thoughts tend to be caged
And the cagy feel makes you become wild
If I'd have gotten a community like this back then
Where I could channel my thoughts and frustrations
I'm sure by now I'd heal faster
Cause skin won't have grown over the fresh old wounds
Thats why I make the most of this platform
Knowing that maybe through my words
Someone can have hope that things can get better
Cause if I did, certainly you can too just look for the light within
