Shackled

This world is so dark
Everyday is like a endless spiral of loneliness
And yet I still cling to life, hoping that someone will break these shackles around my body
But that day won't come
Why? Because no one can see me, or hear me
I'm lost in a deep labyrinth which not even the sun can break through
Still I call out though, crying for someone to come to me
I don't care if they come to hate me or get disgusted by me, I just want to hear a single voice
My ears want to hear the sweet melody of laughter
My hears long to feel the love that has been forgotten
But slowly,  I'm breaking away into oblivion
The only memories I have are those words...words that do nothing but bring me down and make me hate myself
Dear God...how I hate myself
They were right in what they said.
Sorrow is the only thing that seems to always stick with me
Happiness has been swallowed up, disappearing into the darkness
And yet I still try to reach out, praying that someone will help me make the pain go away
But this cage is my home
It binds me from ever leaving
Oh, how I wish I could be someone else.
A fair maiden or at least someone with a mind full of knowledge
I don't want to be me.
I wish to be born someone better...someone happier
This body isn't what I want.
No one loves it.
They just bash it, calling it horrid names till it can't take no more and vanish with time.
Please, let me be free.
Let me break away from this body and give me just some light
I want to hear laughter again
I want to feel warmth again
And most importantly, I want to feel love again...
