Release Me


In this prison Surrounded by what I do not recognize Where am I? I am trapped I am engulfed in flames I feel myself dying inside My flesh burning The screaming of my soul Is this the end? There is no escaping I want to let go I am left with no hope A prisoner of my own thoughts Will the pain go away? Release me

The thoughts of people who have no hope left. Who want to give up. They need help, they need someone to release them.
