Drowning in my fear

I sit here, voices in my head
Telling me I should be dead

Away from all my strife and tears
I am drowning in my fear

Wanting to escape from my life
Slowly now I take my knife

Blood is sliding from my vein
Mirroring my frightful pain

All I wanted was to live
I would have had so much to give

I had ambitions, I was proud
But my pain my life did cloud

My mind was damaged from too much crying
Too much anger too much dying

I want to get away from this cage
On my life turn a new page

Burst out and show my true emotions
Pain and hurt, love and devotion

Be myself and no one else
Scream and shout, cry and yell

Free at last I would be alive
There would be a reason to survive

But that vision is not real
I still hurt and I still feel

So I cut my arms too deep
From the wound the blood now seeps...
