Far Away and Still Fighting for It

I’ve been far away for way too long. I’ve been caught up in my own world for too long. All I’ve ever wanted has vanished and now all I want is you. You’re everything to me right now.
Every night I went to sleep wondering what my life would be the next day. All those memories of looking out the backdoor are clouded by screaming and hate. Always the same things, but still no one believes I’ll make something better from it all.
I’m just a *****-up. A glitch. Self-absorbed, and stupid. They can hit me, scream at me, tell me I’m nothing, but I can’t fight back. My tongue has dents in it from biting it for so long trying not to make a scene.
My knuckles hurt from punching lockers too much. My voice is low from holding back the screams.
All I’ve ever wanted was someone to love me and to tell I’m more than this place. All I wanted was someone to take me away from it, not to bring me back to it.
The glass is starting to shatter. Dead ends are popping up in my head. Those voices are filling the voids and I’m still getting yelled at.
There’s nowhere I can go or run. Only into the stone walls surrounding me. Far away and in pain. Can’t you hear me screaming? Can’t you just hold me and tell me you’ll never hurt me again?
I’m not going to give up. I’ll give it all to keep this love. I just need to know someone believes in me. That I’m worth more than the blood I’ve shed to feel it.
Be my everything. Be my salvation. I’ve got nowhere else to go. Be my escape. I’ll do anything not fight another moment. I just want you to hold me and help me forget how far away I really am.
