Speechless

Don’t want to live in fear
But it consumes me
Don’t want to feel the pain
But I can’t undo it

You want to help
But you hardly know
How much it hurts
But I can’t let go

It keeps me alive
But it eats me
It needs to stop
But it feeds me

I want to run
But don’t know where to go
I have to talk
But I won’t let it show

All I want to do is scream
But I can’t make a sound
All I want to do is cry
But my tears have died out
