I am shy yet sweet at times
I wonder why people can't hear my cries for help
I hear whispering in my head but nothings there
I want the pain to just go away
I am shy yet sweet sometimes

I pretend to smile on the outside but on the inside I'm really crying
I feel like just giving up
I touch nothing but fear
I worry I won't be able to trust people again
I cry because the whispering just won't leave me alone

I understand that one day the pain will stop
I say god is helpful but why won't he help me
I dream more and more pain each day that I sleep
I try to stop the suffering
I hope I  Can someday take my wall down and invite the light in
I am shy yet sweet at times
