There’s this hunger inside me It begs me to release It won’t leave me with peace And with every breath I breathe I lose one more little piece There’s this weight on my heart That makes everything seem hard Is the world really this harsh? Or am I just weak? Tears keep falling doing my face And everyone is saying it’s just a phase But they’re not the ones trapped in this cage They’re not the ones feeling this rage They can’t tell me survival is guaranteed Not when all I do is bleed They will never know, what it is that I need When all it is, is to be freed But they can’t see the bars that surround my mind For them, I am safe and sound My heart is struggling to stay kind But all it wants, is to escape humankind From safety, I am deprived I wish I could go back, to being blind Wish I could go back to being a child But I’m stuck waiting for hope on the other side This won’t last long, surely Maybe time will heal the pain inside me But God, time had never passed so slowly.
