I’m trying to hold on
I really am
So much effort into it
But where is it all going
I’m tired, so tired

It’s funny how easily
I can fake a smile that
Everyone believes
Funny, a word I
Like to use instead
Of sad

Once again, well aware
That all of this makes no sense
So much to be thankful for
Others, hell I, envied being here
So tell me why is this unending
Darkness consuming me

I’m fighting it, I truly am
But I am tired, so tired
Of feeling this empty
Can I just let the night
Wash over me, till I
Cease to be

A cowardices crutch they say
The urge to flee, run away
Another venue, the same sorrow
This rabbit is tired of her burrow

Dear lord Please
Let me know
When its finally
Time to go.

Maybe then I’ll get to see
You again in heaven
Or maybe I won’t
Who knows

I want to believe that
You’re right here with me
That you’ve always been
You just feel a little distant lately

Maybe I’m just holding on to you
Because maybe you’re the only one
Who could ever love a broken soul like me
Is it so wrong that I want to give up
Just so that I can be with you again?

I need you
I miss you so much
I feel so alone in this world
I’m losing my mind
I need you
I’m not as strong as you said I was
I need you

To everyone else I am just a stranger.
To you, I am your daughter.
