Please. I’m begging you.

I’m so lost, I don’t know what to do

My world has lost its color

I can’t go on any longer

I want to tell you how I feel

I want this to be real

But unfortunately, when you’re like me

You’re like a brightly colored swan swimming in a pool of bleach

And I paint on my false vibrant colors

Pretend I’m like the others

When I try to cry every night

When sleep is always such a fight

When I don’t understand my emotions

When my anger is causing comotions

My true passions burns its way through

And then you claim that I hurt you

In truth, I am lost

And I’d pay any cost

To love and to know who loves me

And to never ever have to leave

To find my way back to the road

To finally have my worries overthrown

For something to work, anything

Because I just can’t keep burying

So here it is, here’s the truth

I will always be in love with you

And all the nights I couldn’t sleep

I was thinking of you thinking of me

Imagining finally being protected

Yet like a compass near a magnet, I can’t choose a direction

And I tried to find my way myself

Yet even with everyones’ help

I simply couldn’t find my way

So I just kept pretending to be ok

And it burned me of the third degree

I hope that you can finally find me
