Help

by Nearly but not quite   Apr 16, 2007


Put under so much stress
My brain's going numb
Any work becomes too much
And nothing's getting done.

I don't sleep because
I lie awake thinking of work
I don't work because
I'm too tired to concentrate.

So what should I do?
I need a holiday
But I just got back two weeks ago
What can I do?

I need help
But where from?
Nobody seems to know
What I should do.

Get me out of here
I hate school
I hate home
I have to get out!

I'll pack a bag,
Get on a train
Go up to London
Even in the rain.

I don't care if
I have to sleep rough
It has to be better than this
Surely nothing cold be worse.

But I know I'll never do it
I haven't got the guts
Can't even drown my sorrows
Because I hate being drunk.

I need help
But I don't know how to ask
I wish you could see that
But it's just too hard a task.
