Can someone help me

by silent screams   Mar 28, 2008


When the light goes off
And everything goes dark
I close my eyes tight
And remember the past

The nightmares I lived
Each and every one
I start to shake
And feel so numb

I don't know what to do
What to think, how to feel
Nothing in my life
Ever seems real

I want to run away
Learn to run free
Can someone help me
Escape this insanity?

    You have painted such a vivid picture of .... as darkness falls our thoughts turn to the past and the pains that seem to consume our mind seep in, bringing forth the nightmare we only wish we could waken from.

    I don't know what to do
    What to think, how to feel
    Nothing in my life
    Ever seems real

    A very hard hitting stanza! As though lost in the turmoil, sucked down by the spiraling swirl of sadness.

    To run in search of happiness, hoping that someone will reach out their hand and guide. Screaming for help, begging for sanity.
    Great ending stanza!

    The title says all .... "Can someone help me"
    the thing we crave ... someone to just reach out and pull us through. Make us feel we do "exist"

    Well done
