Set Me Free

“I’m scared, terrified,”
“It’s hard to breathe.”
“It’s hard to feel,”
“I’m scared,”
“I’m afraid I’ll never-”
“I’ll never be able to live;”
This heart of mine,
Feels like glass.
Reality, my curse.
Dreams, my escape.
I’m caught,
Tangled and lost,
Among the threads.
Within myself.
Please, tell me,
That this is all a dream.
The forget-me-nots,
Remind me,
The falling leaves,
Brings me back.
I’m stuck,
I’m lost.
I’m scared,
I’ll never be-
This heart of mine,
Feels like glass.
My body,
A cage.
Reality, my curse.
Dreams, my escape.
I don’t know,
Who I am any more.
Why?
I’m scared, terrified,
It’s hard to breath.
It’s hard to feel,
I’m scared,
I’m afraid I’ll never-
I’ll never be able to live;
Please someone,
Tell me it will be alright.
That I’ll find my way,
Out of this tangled mess,
That is my heart.
Please, tell me,
That this is all a dream.
The forget-me-nots,
Remind me,
The falling leaves,
Brings me back.
To what I wish to forget,
What I wish not to be.
Please,
Make it stop.
This pain in my chest,
This fear,
The want to disappear.
“I’m scared, terrified,”
“It’s hard to breathe.”
“It’s hard to feel,”
“I’m scared,”
“I’m afraid I’ll never live.”
“Please,”
“Set me free;”
