Turn the down the lights
Close the door
Shut the curtains
Then hit the floor
Scream out for help
Pound the walls
Cry till you bleed
You dont want to fall
You dont want to plead.
One day you will feel my lifes pain
And one day far off I want to forget your name.
What did I do wrong?
I can smile forever
And it will never be real
Or I can hide forever
And exist only to feel.
I can't hide behind my make up
I cant hide behind my name
I can't hide behind a bedroom door
I can't hide if life stays the same.
Do the even see me?
I will never know
I lay here waiting
I want to go home.
I realise suddenly im not sleeping
Hello Im still here.
What did I do wrong?
As im falling through the stars
I catch a glimpse of the world below
I'd never noticed before
But time really doesn't slow.
And the voices in my mind
Wont be quiet, won't leave me alone
And im frightened by what I see
But I know inside theres more to come
A spirit takes a long time to be free.
I know i can stop the pain
If I try and wish it all away.
But isnt someone missing me?
You wont say the words.
And this is the last song im wasting on you.

Author notes
I wrote this because Amy Lee and Evanescence helped me find strength to fight some of the people causing me to be depressed in so many ways and helped me find the strength to stand up tall and fight the what had been a loosing battle with selfharming. I used some of the lyrics from many of her songs.
