Help Me, Save Me, Goodbye

Help me,

I’ve been thrown down here against my will, and though I pretend I can move on, my heart cannot.

I don’t want others to know of this mask I’ve made.

I don’t want them to know I’m a freak.

I don’t want to be alone in the darkness, eating away at me ‘till I am empty.

I want to leave, I need someone.

I need someone to release me from this prison.

I know my wall is thickening, but I don’t want people to know who I really am.

I can’t take it no more; I cry into my pillow at night so no one can hear me.

I’m falling too fast, I can’t see.

I am blinded by darkness, I am deafened by silence.

Stop me,

I’m going mad. I hurt others at my own expense, though I do not touch them.

I want to run, but I’m chained by rules and power. I’m taunted by the ones I once trusted.

I’ll still be stone when you come, but by the time you do, can you revive me once more?

I know it’s impossible, but I want to fly. You’ll find me on the roof when you come...

though I know it’s too late.

Goodbye,

Tell everyone I love them; that I’m sorry that I was hiding, that I was a freak no one would love or accept.

I just wanted to be perfect so I wouldn’t get in the way.

I couldn’t leave a mark on this world, everyone will just forget me, I was shallow.

 I was selfish, I wanted to hear someone to praise me just once, but I’ll never get that wish now, will I?

though you never came to save me, I thank you for even the false hope I believed in.

I wanted to be freed, but that can never happen now, right?

I’ve already crossed the line, I’ve destroyed everyone’s view of who I was.

I was foolish, I was selfish... but aren’t we all?
