She hides behind
Pretty eyes
And a fake smile.
She's begging someone
To stay and listen
For a little while.
She's sinking
Back into the dark.
She needs to know
If anyone
Can see her.
She's crying now
Can you hear the sound of
Her screams?
She can barely breathe
She's so tired
Of falling deeper down.
She begs:
"Get me out of here..."
As she screams:
"Let me disappear.
Take me away
To a better place.
They promise it gets better,
But when does it get better?"
She's falling...
She awakes
Knowing she's trapped
In deep water.
She's suffocating,
As she tries to breathe.
Her words won't form.
Her heart can't heal.
They ask her
What she needs.
But all she needs
Is someone.
Someone to care
To need her
To want her
To love her
She wants
To be free.
She's falling...
