There are times when I wake up
And I wonder why I do
There are times when I feel lost
Like I'll never make it through
That light there in the darkness
Is just too far to reach
There's nothing in future
That keeps me to my dreams
My name is Colleen
And I am hurt inside
The pain is so great
That I feel like I might die
My name is Colleen
Sometimes I want to know
Why it is I keep trying
When I don't want to anymore
Sometimes I feel lonley
And that I am too cold
To ever feel the warmth so calming
I'm just too alone
I feel like I am wounded
Those scars won't ever fade
And in the end it's you I'm calling
Why don't you keep me safe?
That light there in the darkness
Is just too far to reach
There's nothing in the future
That keeps me to my dreams
My name is Colleen
And I am hurt inside
The pain is so great
That I feel like I might die
My name is Colleen
Sometimes I want to know
Why it is I keep trying
When I don't want to anymroe
My name is Colleen
There are times when I just wish
That I could take every moment
Every memories kiss
My name is Colleen
My heart is so alone
Filled with so much regret
It's leaded down with stone
My name is Colleen
I ask of you to hear
That even though I just can't
I want to escape from here...
Author notes
There are 'friends' at my school that have made my life living hell for the past three days. They've made me depressed, they've hurt me real bad, and I just don't want it anymore. I'm tired, you know? I hate thsoe type of girls, the two faced type that are waiting behind their painted masks to take all that you've said and use it against you.

A sad write for you, from your usual happy self. i know what people can be like, i know that they can be cruel and vindictive but remember you may feel pain and anguish, you may be hurt and upset, but remember these words. those that hurt you, that lie and that bully are nothing more than pathetic, they find fault with there own lives and so disrupt those that truelly have good lives, they are unable to comprehend what they themselves cannot see. you are special to many people, and certainly to me and others that read your wonderful work. so take my advice and raise your head high and think to yourself how pathetic can they be to have to bully me.
A brilliant write and well structured I love the repeated verse and I love the rhyme and flow, each line is crammed full of emotion and I am truelly sorry for your pain, but think that you have friends and I would like to think that I am one, and then think that those that have made your life hell have no friends or at least no true friends, for when they are weak, there friends will attack them, as you say they are two-sided and hide behind masks but people that do that pay dearly in the end. there is nothing a backstabber hates more than a fellow backstabber, so see the irony and laugh as you watch those that bully get bullied.
keep writing and have a hug to cheer you up

oh and one other thing, if you ever want to talk, I will always listen and unlike your supposed friends I will not tell. a shoulder to cry on is sometimes better than a locked chest of emotions. just choose that shoulder carefully
