There's a restlessness in me,

A strange feeling that I can't pinpoint;

It has me feeling trapped in my body

Unable to escape.

I feel mad for no reason,

I want to cry

But tears won't come out,

And I can't seem to harm even a fly.

I'm silent like the wind

Though a million words I want to scream,

I sit here in silence,

Trying to not break.

I thought I was strong,

I guess I'm not.

The loneliness is finally getting to me,

How do I make it stop?

I want to smile too,

I also want to laugh;

I want a friend to lean on,

A person to trust.

I want a constant;

No, I need them.

I need someone to pull me close,

And tell me it's okay.

I need someone to understand,

Someone who wouldn't judge,

Someone who gets me,

And someone who'll take away my loneliness,

And light my mind and soul

With pure affection.

I need someone to show me I matter,

I need them to cradle me like I'm fragile;

Because I think I'm broken despite what I show them,

And I need someone to see past my façade fix it.
