What Do You Do

What do you do,

when you want to scream,

but there's no sound

when you want to sleep,

but there's no sheep?

 

what do you do,

when you want to run,

but your heart makes you stay, 

when you want to fly,

but you can't even try?

 

what do you do, 

when you want to cry, 

but there are no tears,

when you want to write,

but there are no words?

 

what do you do,

when you want freedom,

but you're trapped inside yourself?

 

what do you do,

when the only one who can help you,

is the one who holds you back?

 

what do you do, 

when there's nothing left to do?
