Waiting Alone
How do you know
What you’re supposed to do
When every time you do something
Something else falls through
How do you know
What you’re supposed to say
When every time you talk
Someone else gets in your way
Your days are full
Your nights are humble
Your dreams are all the same
Barely ever do you dare to mumble
Nothing feels right
Nothing feels good
You feel like you need to escape
But don’t know if you should
You feel so alone
Trapped inside a world of pain
The days drag on
But still you have no name
You bury your emotions
Hide them from the rest
You do it so well
Some would say you’re the best
You walk down a long street
Filled with darkness and shame
People watch you there
But no one knows your name
It’s a secret held within you
One so dear you cannot say
A secret only you would know
To bring out all dismay
If only you could tell the world
What you really feel
Then maybe they would call out to you
And they would help you heal
But lest you walk along this path
Waiting for the right time
That someone will walk up to you
And clean you of your grime
