I’m not quite awake

Asleep is where I’ve been

Seeking solice from my pain

If I drown in unconciousness

Then, sleep is not in vain

I don’t feel like coping

Others surround me in wonder

Helpless in my plight

Anger sets in soon

Not to my delight

Will I venture beyond the wall

Will I let myself be held

Is there more to me

More to me than I used to be

Why tether to the past

It’s all that I know

Why embrace the future

For I don’t know where it goes

If my journey goes nowhere

Then I have not lost

If my journey moves forward

Then my safety is the cost

I cannot be held

Yet I want him to hold me

I still cannot cope

But it’s you that gives me hope

Beyond what I know, you love me

Beyond what I think, you let me be free

Can I live and be me

Is it you that I see

Cry in my sleep

That’s my world

Trapped in it deep

Don’t let go of me

Don’t let me go

I can be what I’d like to be for you

I can make that so
