Save Me


Look in a mirror and see a monster The hate inside, fighting to take control In school they don’t see, at least not really They see a person not a monster I see so much of him inside of me Try to fight it, but I’m losing ground fast. So scared of being like him, of losing myself Of being more and more like him, less and less Like me, losing what makes me, me. Please, help me I feel as though I’m lost, losing control. I’m drowning inside where no one can see. Will someone see I’m struggling to stay at the Surface? That I’m fighting to stay me? And for every breath I take I lose a step. They don't hear me, shouting, begging for help My voice is lost in the shuffle, I scream for help, for someone to save me No one hears, No one cares. As I lay on the floor, I cry, knowing I'll never be saved. I'll die from the hate.
