I sit here in utter despair surrounded by others that forgot to care. Wondering what I have done to be treated this way. Wanting to leave but needing to stay. For I am bound by invisible chains, This is what I am now all that remains. I can't swallow, I can't breathe , tears threaten to spill over is all I need. Crying inside,screaming my tormented soul writhing in agony can't you see? This is what you have done to me. Can anyone hear me? Do you hear me plead on my knees here I am, begging you please? For I am bound by invisible chains, This is what I am now all that remains. Weakened,helpless ,and shattered why do I still care when it shouldn't even matter? My heart is broken and my words are still left unspoken. I can't swallow, I can't breathe, tears threaten to spill over is all I need. Crying inside,screaming my tormented soul writhing in agony can't you see? This is what you have done to me. I'm trying to pick up the pieces blinded by lies, and confusion, consumed by emotion. Can you see my soul dying? I feel like everything is being ripped away from me. I gave you everything I had but yet you still are not satisfied. All I have left is my life, If i give it to you will you let it die? Rejected, neglected, pushed away why oh why do you treat me this way? Everything twisting turning out of control, I can't think straight my mind is not my own. The world is spinning people come and go . Does anyone know I am here....
