STRANGER
I felt so weak, I didn't feel like getting up
Though I try to swim harder the waves only get rough
It's gotten to a point where my heart stopped to bleed
And the emotions in my head feels like a dead seed
And I'm crying and I'm praying, hoping someone will see
Beyond the smile, into my heart where I hold these memories
The people beside me don't even see my pain
They think the reason I write is only for public gain
So I pulled myself in and shut all the doors
And I lay curled up with a paper on the floor
Then somebody told me that I should keep on writing
I know it sounds simply but those words in me were dying
Such a simple statement I have been waiting to hear
All I needed was a little support to overcome my fear
So I pushed myself back ready to face all the danger
And when they ask me I say
"I was motivated my a stranger"
