Can you hear me?

Because I thought I heard myself

Maybe I was wrong

Maybe all this pain has caught up

Because I’m just so tired

I’ve been running and fighting for so long

Running from that voice inside my head

Fighting battles that aren’t mine to fight

And then suffering through the ones that are

I’m breaking as the voice grows louder

The wounds are re-opening

And now I’m barely holding back tears

So once I’m all alone I let them flow

But then I ask, why am I like this?
Why can’t I be better or stronger

I’m lying here broken, cold as stone

Can’t feel but I so desperately want to

Take my hand please

Help me

Because I’m sick and I need you

Because I think I might be dying

Because it’s too much

The world is moving to fast

If only I could hit pause

Help me please

I need you

Can you hear me?
Because I think I might be screaming

Haven’t been this way before

And I’m more scared than I was 

When those first thoughts came

I can’t breathe, I think I’m drowning

Can you hear me?

Will you hear me?

Please

I don’t mean to be so selfish

I don’t mean to put this on your shoulders

But I don’t think I can do this alone

And I’m sorry if this is too much

I’m sorry I’m broken and I don’t want you feeling bad

I don’t want to spread this pain

I just

I need help

I need you
