Everything's so hazy
So bleak, cold, and grey
This world is foreboding
I wish I could run away
The strings that once held me
To all those I held dear
Were ripped from my heart
And for each one came a tear
I stare off into space
And everything begins to clear
When I suddenly scream
Can anyone hear?
Isn't there someone out there
Who can see me sitting here
With tears streaming from my eyes
As I'm paralyzed with fear
Will anyone save me?
This broken, empty doll
With no more spirit
To even attempt to crawl
Would anyone give me
Even one reason to live my life
Till my time comes to an end
And die without the knife?
As my sight begins to fog again
I become lost in my own head
Nobody cares for me, it seems
Guess I'm better off dead
Nobody wants to play
And love a broken doll
So it seems the time has come
To put an end to it all
I'm just a broken toy
And I'll give you one last bet
Nobody gives a care
For a broken marionette
Author notes
I went into a state of depression not to long ago and ended up writing this... It expresses how I felt. I ended up getting out of the depression on my own with a little help from my good friend who is currently in the Air Force. I decided that now wasn't the right time for self pity because he was the one who needed the attention.
