I sit alone on this silent night,
thinking about my life gone past,
the things I did wrong, and should have done right.
I never realized that life would go by so fast.
In my mind is chaos, confusion, and fear,
I see myself spinning, spiraling down,
I feel helpless inside, I wipe away a tear.
In my own anguish, soon I will drown.
Someone please help me, please hold my hand,
I'm afraid of the thoughts inside my own head,
I need someone near me, by my side please stay,
This is my silent plea, every night before bed.
