“My Cry for Help”

 

My tears drip down,

From my eyes.

My tears of fear,

Are coming around.

 

I’m in the shadows,

There’s no way out.

I’m in too deep,

Nobody can help me now.

 

Why does it have,

To be this way?

Why doesn’t anyone,

Care enough to help?

 

All I ask is,

For you to love me.

All I want is,

For you to care.

 

Why does it seem like,

You leave me when I,

Need you the most?

Can you tell me why?

 

Why do I have,

To be so sensitive?

Why do I have,

To hurt so much?

 

Why can’t somebody,

Care enough to help?

Why does everyone,

Have to leave?

 

Can’t somebody love,

Me for me?

Or is that too much,

To ask for?

 

Is there anybody out there,

That cares enough,

To help me through,

This darkness I’m in?

 

Is there anybody out there,

That can help me get through this?

Is there anybody out there,

That feels the way I do?

 

Why do I still have,

These tears of sorrow?

I thought it was all going away.

Does anyone hear my cry for help?
