Running out of Time
A little numb
I think
A little hopeless
A little weak
Help me
Is what I want to say
What I want to happen
What I wait for
Every day
And the next
Until I feel worthless
Deserving of this numb void
I’ve cast myself into
Time and time again
Can’t get close to others
Don’t show how wrong I feel
Everything is fine
I’m fine
But then why do I want to stop time
Stop everything
Give my self space
Give myself more time
I’m running out of time
I’m running out of feelings
I’m running out of life
I’m running into an empty void
Everything is just going too fast
Too fast
Too fast
Way too fast
Slow it down, please
What if one day
I wake up
And I’m thirty
Please slow it down
I beg to you every day
Every second
Take me out
I don’t belong
Here, there, anywhere
Take me out
Take me out of here
I don’t want to be here anymore
I don’t want to fake happiness
It’s tiring
I don’t want to please anyone
It’s not who I am
But then again,
Who am I
I am a human devoid of life and feeling
So help me
I am a human that wants to end
An empty life
A worthless life
My life
Somebody help me
I need it
I don’t want to be anymore
