Tell Them

I'm trapped inside my own mind,
Scared of what I might find,
Things I forced myself to hide and 
forget,
Now I've come face to face with it,

Please
Hear my cries and screams
Tell them to set me free
Tell them I'm stuck in this 
everlasting sea and its drowning me

I hear voices but not normal ones,
I run through this never ending 
alley followed by someone,
I see the light up head and grab to 
reach,
Yet I'm back where I shouldn't be,

Please
Hear my cries and screams
Tell them to set set me free
Tell them I'm stuck in this 
everlasting sea and its drowning me

I may have lost mind now,
I think it's over,
My eyes once beautiful brown,
Is grey and cold,
And just when I was about to give 
up,
I felt this spark and with one blink I 
woke up…

( I dedicated this to my daughter. I 
was wild && could care less about 
others && how they felt. She saved 
me :') Mommy Loves You Nya! )
