Sanity

These feelings inside
I try hard to hide
Suppress all of the hate
Don’t let them see the rage
So full of much pain
No time for life’s games
But I am not the one to blame
For my always being this way

Do not give in
Don’t live like them
Don’t be who you’re not
Our time is too short

No time for this pain
No time for these games
Don’t say we’re the same
For believe me, we’re not



There’s no one like me
Who sees what I see
Can’t help how I feel
There is no need for pills
The things I’ve been taught
To be who I’m not
I’m tired of this game
I’m going insane
Please don’t let me fall
Can you hear my call?
Can you help me with this pain?
Don’t let me give in to this rage
Please can’t you help me?
Keep me from going insane!!
