Why Cant I Get Away

The hurt and heart ache and pain i just want somebody to take me away

i'm tired of being lonely its been going on for too long so heres my song

life has taken its toll on me used me and abused me never made me but did 
break me

all i ever wanted was a hand to hold a friend to have and somebody to keep me 
warm when i'm cold

the more i try to give myself to somebody the more they all move further away

some people might say you have your family but my own siblings wont even 
accept me

if i have something to give i get greetings and smiles but when i'm empty handed 
i cant even give myself a smile

GOD is enough for me i'm sure of that but while i'm on earth who really has my 
back

i came in this world alone and i will die alone but never did i imagine i would live 
my life so alone, so cold , so hurt and so empty

Hi Whitney. I enjoyed your writing. It's beautifully sad and perfectly touching. Sometimes we have to find a way to be our own best-friend. I wish you luck and please keep writing. Thanks Monica
