Listen
Hear my call, and my despair
I am tired, don’t leave me here
Do you listen to my voice?
Tell me please another choice
One day I sprint, the next I fall
Trying hard… make sense of all
Are you real, or is it me
Help me find reality
Problem is I can’t relate
I try so hard, sometimes too late
Tell me please another fate
Before life’s breath disintegrates
Come to me I need you near
Don’t abandon so much fear
Why so empty, why so sad
Feeling worthless and not glad
Hiding within these four walls
Thoughts are ceasing, no sleep a tal
No cry for help, guilt strangles me
Where hath gone my energy
Am I loved, or do you care
Am I worth it, so much despair
Squeezing out my last life’s breath
Palm cross my heart, I welcome death
Take away this pain from me
No moment more of suffering
No more succumb to all these fears
No more to shed another tear
Just peaceful slumber my escape
My only hope the one I take
