Tug of War

Tears fall down my face as I feel my heart break At times I wish I could fall asleep Live inside a happy dream from which I did not have to wake I remain wide awake unable to stop the pain I feel inside Whomever said there were happy endings must have been wrong Or maybe they just lied Feeling completely all alone without anyone to understand Every time I turned for help they turned away And I am left alone still reaching out my hand My cries go unheard and words forgotten just like me I stand right in front of them But not one person seems to see As if invisible or unimportant at all Attempting to be heard I shout But nobody hears me when I call Trying to remain strong but growing weaker every day Losing the game of tug of war Giving up the desire to continue to play
