I have a hard time keeping friends

And talking with the ones I love

I have a hard time reaching out

It seems like I’m above

 


The need for help

From all of you

My future’s flying free

But behind these fearful eyes

My mind

Is killing me

 


My words are damned

Inside my head

My mouth diverts the traffic

I bury what I never say

All silence feels like static

 


No reason why I cannot share

My ideas and my life

But I guess that I’m afraid

That they will be the knife

 


That my friends will use to kill

My endless hopes and dreams

I lock them up inside my head

I’m tearing at the seams
