These Prison Walls
All my life I just wanted to be loved
to be hugged
to be cuddled
to feel safe
to feel cherished.
Even as an infant
I was pushed aside
my emotional needs ignored
made to feel unloved
unwanted
unsafe
uncherished
Now people think I feel nothing but rage
but they are wrong
just because I don't express
or show emotions
doesn't mean that I don't feel them
I want to express how I feel
I don't know how
I want to learn how to
but how do you ask for help
with something you should already know
Instead of understanding that I'm sick
and need love and help
everyone just gives up and walks away
They just can't see that I'm trapped
and trying to escape
the prison
I'm in
The Prison walls were distroyed
somewhere I am trapped
amongst the rubble
Can you see me?
I'm trying to free myself
I'm trying to learn how
I'm trying to find the words
to ask for what I want
to say what I feel
Please don't give up
Please don't walk away
I haven't given up
Im still in here
I'm still fighting
fighting to get better
to be hugged
to be cuddled
to feel safe
to feel cherished.
Even as an infant
I was pushed aside
my emotional needs ignored
made to feel unloved
unwanted
unsafe
uncherished
Now people think I feel nothing but rage
but they are wrong
just because I don't express
or show emotions
doesn't mean that I don't feel them
I want to express how I feel
I don't know how
I want to learn how to
but how do you ask for help
with something you should already know
Instead of understanding that I'm sick
and need love and help
everyone just gives up and walks away
They just can't see that I'm trapped
and trying to escape
the prison
I'm in
The Prison walls were distroyed
somewhere I am trapped
amongst the rubble
Can you see me?
I'm trying to free myself
I'm trying to learn how
I'm trying to find the words
to ask for what I want
to say what I feel
Please don't give up
Please don't walk away
I haven't given up
Im still in here
I'm still fighting
fighting to get better
