I reach for love but find a storm.
A heart that promises to keep me warm,
But hidden within each soft embrace,
Is a shadowed voice I cannot face.

Your words cut like bitter rain,
Drowning hope in silent pain.
You twist my thoughts, steal my light,
Leave me aching through the night.

I crave the peace, the quiet skies,
But always end with tear-filled eyes.
I walk on glass with every step,
A fragile heart, a soul unkept.

I dream of calm, gentle hands,
Of someone who truly understands.
But time and time, I lose my way,
Chained to the ones who make me stay.

Maybe one day, I'll break free,
And find the peace that waits for me.
But for now, the storm rolls on,
And in its winds, my heart is gone.

I felt like a doll,
emotionless and all.

I was able to move and talk and think but,
I'm not there, not really.

I looked out of the window and watched the people on the streets.

Some looking happy and excited,
whereas some looked bleak.

I felt like a layer of glass was
seperating me from the world.

It was hard to explain but what I wanted to do was for someone to help me.

They'd ask me if I was okay and I would look at them and say, "No. Not really."

But I know they'd flinch away from the fact and silently roll their eyes,

That I was another lying person,
Who would fake a smile but have problems for miles.

This time, however, it's a little different.
For I'm the person who helped others who fell,
When I'm the one who needed saving most of all.
