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
