Lost And Afraid

Sketches are the curtains to true feelings While hiding from a state of not being Able to go one day without dealing With the hurt, the loss, the pain When the world won’t quiet and the noise won’t fade Can’t find a place to disassociate We all know how it feels to be lost and afraid Trapped in a cycle as the memory invades We all wish that just once, we could breathe freely Sometimes we all just need, a means to escape The only way through is to sit and talk it out But every word feels like glass in my mouth Daydreaming of waking up from the nightmare Pouring emotions on each page hoping to get there When the world won’t quiet and the noise won’t fade The keys are the only place to disassociate We all know how it feels to be lost and afraid Screaming inside but the silence parades We all wish that just once, we could breathe freely Sometimes we all just need, a means to escape Each note a confession dancing in the air Pushing through the sorrow and despair Breathe for the first time in countless days Music is the way to escape We all know how it feels to be lost and afraid Finding a voice in the sound that sustains We all wish that just once, we could breathe freely Sometimes we all just need, a means to escape
