Help Wanted

Someone, please. Help me.

Please somebody help me

I think I'm slipping away

Losing my grip on reality

My sanity's beginning to stray

I thought that I was better

That the past was locked away

But now it's coming back all at once

I can't see the light of day

A year or two I had it all

Corralled inside my head

I tied up all my anger

And I forced it to play dead

I bottled up my problems

But now I start to see

My walls are slowly cracking

Setting insanity free

You tell me that it's for the best

Not to keep it all inside

But it seems whenever it gets out

My friends all try to hide

Ashamed of everything I do

Is the monster really me?

I feel I should be better

Much more than I can be

Maybe they were right 

When they said I needed help

Cause I've been down this road before

I was lucky to leave by myself

Screw you if you don't like it

Might as well try letting go

And if you say that I seem different

Then it wasn't me you used to know

Tone great. Reserved depression and introspection. Meter is consistent. Pacing is great, mainly because I wanted to read the whole thing and I didn't stop to think about your writing process. Nice work!
