Living In Fear

Living lies for comfort.
Hiding in my fears.
Scared of life and everything,
For all these lonely years.

Masking pain, And who I am.
Just to make it through.
Wanting to feel better.
In everything I do.

Longing for protection,
From no one else but me.
Wanting to be something,
I could never be.

Striving to be perfect.
Living life a dream.
Never face reality.
Life isn't what it seems.

Gazing up on starry nights,
Wishing fears away.
Never did I ask for this,
Why is it that they stay?

Please, dear lord. Just help me now.
Help me make it through.
I'm lost beyond belief.
And I don't know what to do.

**Not quite sure if I should end this here...if you have any suggestions...please leave a comment...I'd be more then greatful...thanks**
