Take Me Away

Why do I cry?
Night and day
Won't you take my hand?
Take me away....

Unleash me from my pain
Free me from my fears
Grant me a life
Where I shed no tears

Just take my hand, and hold on tight
For if you let go, I may never see the light
Darkness dwells in the depth of my heart
And bit by bit, tares it apart

The sounds of sorrow, the sounds of pain
It's all to much, I can't handle life's touch
Why did it have to be this way?

I'm an empty shell, broken and torn
Covered by a mask, that covers my past
Darkness chews, eating me inside
Yet I tell no one
I just run and hide

Tears flowing freely down my once cheerful face
My heart beating rapidly, quickening with each pace
Eyes darting from left to right
Searching for someone, to make things alright

And you wonder why I cry
And you wonder why I scream
When I whimper away in fear
Or try to run away from here

Don't tell me that you did not see
The tears upon my face
Don't tell me that you did not care
of why my heart would race

So why did you ask
Even though you knew
About my past
Like you had no clue

If its answers you want
Then answers you shall receive
But let me warn you
Understanding is not easy

This is how I am....

A girl;
That cries
Night and day
Wishing for someone to take her away
Take me away....
