Loud

Silence in my ears, too loud;

Thoughts raging war inside, don't crowd;

Bleeding eyes and bleeding ears;

No voices to call me from my tears;

My heart races feeling tight;

Outside I’m fine but inside not quite;

My head feels far too loud;

But outside there’s not a sound;

No one to comfort or hold my hand;

No one to take me away from this land;

I need someone to hear me;

I need someone to free me;

I wish I didn’t and that I could be strong;

But with strength I just don’t belong;

Someone please hold my head aright;

Don’t let me slip from sight;

I don’t want to fall away;

But right now I’m too tired to stay;

Time to go;

I’ve fallen below;

No one offered a single hand;

To this broken girl lost in the sand
