Someone to Care

Someone to Care I’m weary of this haunting place, Trapped by insecurities and fears' embrace. I yearn for them to flee, To vanish without a trace, For this oppression still clings, a ceaseless chase, And it won’t leave me be. This mental anguish fails to mend, The pain too raw, too real to comprehend, Echoes of abuse, time can't erase, My arms reach out, in hope's embrace, Praying for someone to care. When tears fall, no hand to wipe them clear, When screams pierce, no refuge from my fears, Amidst the terrors, trembling hand unclaimed, No solace found, in shadows unnamed. I once knew joy, beneath the sun's bright gleam, Now ensnared by darkness, a recurring theme, Demons haunt my dreams' once tranquil streams, Sanity lost, in silent screams. This mental anguish fails to mend, The pain too raw, too real to comprehend, Echoes of abuse, time can't erase, My heart laid bare, seeking grace, Longing for someone to care. When tears fall, no hand to wipe them clear, When screams pierce, no refuge from my fears, In the midst of terrors, trembling hand unclaimed, No comfort found, in shadows unnamed. I've urged myself, time and again, to move on, To gather strength, my resolve to don, But these demons prove too much to bear, They creep along the halls, in the candle's glare, They linger still, in my despair. Won’t someone save me? -Edward
