Someone Please Save Me

I can’t sleep
I can’t cry
Yet there is no light
Behind these blue-green eyes.
Someone please save me.

I can’t breathe
This world is looking down on me
Just because
Just because I am me
Just because I am free
Just because I won’t be them
I am who I am
Me
Just because I am pure
And won’t become just some thing
I save myself for him
Who saves himself for me
Who won’t throw me away
Like an old toy someday
Someone please save me
I don’t want to see it
I don’t want to hear it
Why won’t someone push it away?
I’m gunna fall, I’m gunna fall
This world is trying to punish me
Why can’t they just let me be?
The teasing, the taunting
It’s too much to bear
My style, my looks
The color of my hair.
What I do, what I think
They use it as weapons against me
I’m small, yet strong
They don’t give me a chance.
Pretty, yet smart
They don’t understand.
Shy, yet brave.
Don’t judge me because of my age.
Don’t judge me because of my looks.
Don’t judge me by what you hear.
Don’t judge me at all.
Someone please save me.
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
The weight of the world
Is crushing down on me.
I try to scream
But not a sound breaks free
Someone…
Please…
Save me.

Then again…
Maybe I can save myself
