When I was a young girl

Around the ages 8, 9, and 10

I used to feel so alone

After watching my dad get into that car and drive far, far away from me

But now, all those years later

I still feel so alone

But it's different this time

Now I crave someone's arms around me

Late at night 

When I'm screaming for help and nobody can hear me

Nobody can save me from the demons trapped in my mind

I crave someone there to tell me

Not to be afraid 

The dark only lasts for a few hours 

There is no reason to be scared of what is trapped inside your mind

I crave their voice overpowering the one in my head

Telling me I deserve to die

I crave someone there to rescue me from myself

But when I look around me

I know I am alone
