.[Please].

Looking past the iron bars

I long to just be free.

I'm curled up and dying here

But I can't make them see.

Tears slowly slide down my face

As I watch from the inside.

I just want to disappear

But I've got nowhere to hide.

They find it amusing

To cause me constant pain.

I've yearned for sunshine in my life

But I see clouds and rain.

I'm shivering and all alone

There's no one to comfort me.

No one to tell me it's ok

Just those who want to hurt me.

Someone please unlock the door

Let me out of this cage.

Hold me while I let go

Of all my pain, my hurt, my rage.

Keep me close to stop my shaking

Be there to dry my tears.

Stay with me in to the night.

Please help calm my fears.

Don't let them taunt me anymore

Make sure they'll never tease.

Keep me with you, safe from harm

Just love me... please.
