Always now
My thoughts are churning
Like never before
The wheels are turning
My mind is racing
Out of control
Stress and depression
Are taking their toll
Some of my thoughts
Can't be controlled
These very thoughts
Would make your blood run cold
Before I fall
I give you one last
Pleading call
Bound by chains
Inside my head
There are open wounds
That never bled
I hear the screams
Of tortured years
You're the only one
That can dry the tears
Only you
Can fade my scars
Or break my mind's
Prison bars
Hurry now
Before I pass
I'm not yet sure
How long I'll last
As I wither away
And sit alone
I wonder to myself
'Where is home
Where are the people
I know and love
Where is the almighty
God above
Why was I left here
Where was my help
Where were you
Where was everyone else'
But then I realized
I was never alone
I was never in
The place called home
I never left
Nor did you
Everyone else
Was with me too
I wasn't bound
By my mind
These were restraints
Of another kind
They were to keep me
From hurting myself
And from hurting
Everyone else
But I wondered why
Everyone stared
At my helpless frame
Just lying there
No one wondered
Why I was pinned down
No one ever
Made a sound
No one lent
A helping hand
All they did
Was stare and stand
Only one
Burst from the crowd
I heard them call
My name aloud
My hand I raised
But not for long
All my strength
Would soon be gone
Then I saw
My helping hand
The one that would soon
Help me to stand
A face took shape
The voice was clear
You had come
To dry my tears
To heal the hurt
To ease the pain
To take me
Home again
