Trapped Inside My Body

I lie awake staring at the ceiling
Looking for answers in these four walls
Trying to find my way without a compass
Doomed to spend my life wondering the halls
How did I ever get this lonely
Going through life without a friend
Every bit of my heart is broken
How will I ever make it mend
I push myself to keep on going
How do I find the strength to try again
I have so much love trapped inside my body
It would be a shame to let it die within
