I am stuck in this moment

This moment in time

I try to fight it but I am lost

I smile away all the people

And I try to sleep, but I cry

As I find a way

I walk to the doorway

Feel their eyes around me

My mind is racing my time is coming near

They run, they try to hide

Hold me down from deep inside

Help me find a way to feel again

I remember, the smoke was in the air

The cries of a child, reaching out and pleading desperately

I never feared tomorrow

I never feared the night

Time is the only freedom

That I hold onto

I fear the face of realty

Shows me that I’m real

They turn the lights off

and all I have is a window

I see the fire, I feel the warmth again

I try to realize, it’s done I’ve been victimized

Take me to a place where I can heal
