The Words Come in Floods

“Get over it” they say, staring right through me

“Talk it out” she says, holding my hand

He pulls back “to set me free”

So I’m drifting like cold sand

Sitting in my room, staring out the window

Razor in my hand, blinking through the tears

Waiting for the world to slow

Stumbling through my fears

And the whispers…wrap me up

And my stories…screaming to be heard

But now I know my time is up

And I’m streaming out the words

Please make room for us inside your heart

They think they know me well, but that’s not the truth

They don’t know, it’s ripping me apart

So I hold myself aloof

Holding back the screams tearing up my soul

Keeping up a smile, keeping up my life

There’s so much pain my body holds

I want to give up this fight

And the whispers…wrap me up

And my stories…screaming to be heard

But now I know my time is up

And I’m streaming out the words

And I know that when I’m gone

You’ll remember me as who I used to be

Please wake up for me at the dawn

Please…set me free
