If your out there now

Then please tell me how.

There is a hole where my heart is,

But I’m still alive.

It hurts tremendously,

And there’s no way to be free.

Locked in a cage of my own design,

And no one sees cause I’ve fallen behind.

This stabbing pain has me crying

And I hope no one thinks I’m lying.

I’m not sure they even hear cause

My yells for help are quiet.

I will not fake my want for escape

From this hollow, sinking, numbing pain.

I would rather stand 4 days out

In a freezing, pouring, stinging rain.

Is it all in my head?

To be honest I’d rather be dead.

But there’s no escaping now

Unless someone could show me how.
