They say the problem is me
Hidden under lock and key
Secure from the world,
Safe from the pain.
But the chains on my heart choke the life out of my soul
Leaving my lungs gasping for something more
Something worth saying
Something with some meaning.
But alas the silence remains.
A broken girl behind a crooked smile
A sincere laugh, but only for a moment.
Claiming not to care
Yet a question whispers through the air of each night spent alone.
How can they tell me to let people in,
When there's no one around to see that the door's been left wide open?
Randomly broke down and it resulted in this.
Those moments when you feel like you have no one who really knows you, or even cares to try. Although the thoughts are irrational, sometimes they're just strong enough to become real, at least for awhile.
