Maybe I Just Need to Cry
I’ve been feeling,
like I’m doing well,
but I’ve been thinking
I might need some help,
’cause I’m so alone,
drinking.
Maybe I’m crying for help,
or maybe I just need to cry,
and no one sees the pain
I keep locked up inside,
the child in my heart
who only wants to hide
but never be alone,
who begs me to silence
the screams that fill my mind,
the ones I’ve always known.
Feelings, thoughts that were always,
finding ways to slip away,
to drown out every echo
of the wounds that never fade.
Only a hammer to the heart
could break this anguish open
and lead me to another life.
