Who am I?

May I ask,

Is there something I should know?

I've been lost for years in my own mind,

Is there somewhere I should go?

I try to feel my way through hell looking for the door,

It just strikes me as so care free I just don't know what to do,

Take my hand,

I must escape,

This fear grips my skin,

Pushes beneath the surface,

I have nothing else but my soul's sin,

Believe me,

I've tried to fight but something holds me back,

No angel to save me from what I've become

Or a knife to end my strife,

Kill this all,

But I don't want to die,

For that you read me wrong,

I've got a soul,

I've got a mind,

But my screech is still the song,

So just give me a minute as I hold my heart,

I've given you everything,

Don't try to judge because you have no right,

Just accept it and leave in peace,

Nothing more to say but I'll stay anyway,

I have no where else to go,

Here in your hands I plea to you,

Let me go but keep me close in your cold embrace,

Ignore me,

I've just lost interest,

I've nothing left to lose,

Just that part of me which keeps me man,

Please don't touch me,

I still have my pride,

Get away from here is what I'll do,

Find the final piece of me,

To bring them back and help me win,

For my angel I give you everything,

Everything I have,

Everything I had,

Everything I want for her, myself and you,

Just let me lye here and speak the truth,

You're my heart,

My soul,

For that I'd be quiet and true.
