I think of the times that I've been alone,
Lost, not knowing where I'm going.
I search for where I belong,
An outsider...that's all I am.
People have let me down.
Lied to all my life.
No one I can trust,
Love is always lust.
Nothing seems real anymore.
Friends are fake with the masks they wear.
Glued onto their faces, stuck there...
Yelled at, screamed at, and shouted at my face!
Why are people so cruel to ME!
I lose myself, I'm lost, can't find my way back
Darkness closes in around me...
My mind is scared while my body is numb.
Cold, can't feel anything...anymore.
A light shines through a small space
Coming into my life, somehow feeling safe.
For the first time I feel a warmth.
You hug me, forever yours...my savior.
