Only you/help me

Mama come find me
I'm only five
this stranger just asked me
if I want a ride
I can't find you at all
And this street is so wide
It looks like a mile
to the other side
I know you said
to stay by your side
but I saw that teddy
that looked just like mine
and while I was still looking
you left the checkout line
now I'm alone
and there's tears on my cheeks
and the pounding rain
sounds like my heartbeat

Jesus come save me
I'm only twelve
and the other kids seem fine
all by themselves
I walk through the halls
and the world is a blur
my jaw is clenched tight
and I don't say a word
I feel too naive
and immature for this grade
please listen to my prayer
because I'm so afraid
maybe I'll escape
and run back home
I don't like spending lunch
in the bathroom alone

Baby come help me
I'm only seventeen
I can't handle the winter
or the wind's howls and screams
the summer heat is gone
it's getting dark so soon
the sadness creeps in
and fills up my room
I can't go outside
without thinking of the poor
or animals trapped in the cold
begging for warmth
walking the dark streets,
there's nowhere to turn
because my fear
raises little concern
so please come walk with me
and keep me upright
you take my fear and help me face
this early night.

    Whoa that poem said alot, feeling hopeless inside sucks, especially when you just want to give up everything.
