Let Me Out

Putting my pain into words.

Let Me Out

I'm trapped inside this box that is my past.

I'm suffocating under the weight of what has been.

Let me breath.

Let me out.

Let me see past all that I have known.

I've got scars holding me back, keeping me down.

I'm tied up.

There's no letting go.

No getting out,

I'm going nowhere.

I'm fighting for a way out.

I'm looking for a way to survive.

I'm trying, so hard, to shake this feeling, let it go.

It's here to stay.

I'm consumed by this overwhelming darkness that is my mistrust.

I'm hoping for a ray of light to guide me.

Let me out.

Let me see that the world is better than what I've seen.

I want to know.

I want to see.

Let me out.

There has to be a different way to live.

All these things stopping me, putting me behind the rest.

Barriers.

I can't handle them.

I'm so broken.

Please, help me to see beyond this.

Help me.

Rescue me.

Show me.

Fix me.

Let me out.

Is there something more than this out there?

Someone,

Something,

Anything

Better?

Or will I be eternally trapped inside this box?

Let me out.

being completely honest.
i love it. !
the only mistake i saw, which is nothing at all, a mistake everyone makes is,

"Let me breath."
breath is pronounced like " he took my breath away"
but to breathE, is what you mean.

good write though,
i'm adding to my favorites.
you almost took my feelings right out of my heart and wrote them down for me. !
thank you. ! :)
