If i told you (please read)

by bleeding-diamonds

If i told you i needed help would you listen? Or would your silence Echo off the walls. See my life is like a car, Sometimes moving fast And other times so damn slow. If i told you i feel hurt inside would you not just hear but listen to what i said I need someone to care. Im tired of trying to fight alone. Im tired of trying to survive at a table for one. If i told you I cry all over my body And each tear is a knife And they are leaving scars on my flesh, Would you cut me a bandage, Sop up my blood, Or leave me to bleed out. If i told you I was alone and my demons are taunting me would you get me out Or would you keep walking or keep scrolling... Im not begging for attention, But one cannot be expected to be alone and silent like a life long detention. If i told you I was ready to confess everything Come clean from my secrets, Strip myself naked so you could see my imperfections would you care even the slightest bit Or are you so selfish And so ignorant To walk on And leave this person to die. If i told you i was ready to die *would you blame it in cliche, Or believe it and save me from damnation* Its time to think. It could be up to you This isnt just my world, Its yours, too and dont you want to be somebody To someone? I need you. Because all of these "if i told you's* Are becoming *im telling you
