SLIPPING AWAY

SLIPPING AWAY
I live a life so empty,
so full of sadness, so incomplete,
I'll write these endless rhymes,
My only escape and retreat.

Never ending thoughts,
Run through my head, and i can't sleep,
Confused and troubled,
Feelings I've locked inside, gone so deep.

A wall around my heart,
protecting me, Shielding me from all my fears,
And I love, but I'm afraid to use it,
Afraid to feel so close and near.

Even more afraid, to be loved,
A sad existence is what I've become,
And I wish i could give them answers,
But i have none

And At night I'll talk to God,
cause in that time there's no one else,
I'll tell him how i feel inside,
how I feel alone, and by myself.

A source of refuge,
is what he seems to be to me,
But sometimes i need the tangible,
Someone that i can see.

I spend so much time,
trying to be happy and OK,
And it's exhausting,
so now I'm ready to just slip away
