Are you listening to what I say?
Do you believe I want to stay?
I’m working hard towards that day
When safe and strong I walk away.
I talk to you but do you hear
My pain, concern and constant fear?
I plan my actions to go away
To a place I don’t see another day.
I want to go so far away
Oh to a place where I can stay
Where I feel safe, don’t fear the day
Are you still listening to what I say?
My mood is low or sometimes high
I sometimes laugh, I sometimes cry
At times there’s rain, at times there’s shine
But I’ll retake this life of mine.
Because I know this is my day
Unwelcomed guests they’ve gone away
A safer place for me to stay.
I think a lot each night and day
I want to find a better way
The fears, the tears to go away
Are you still listening to what I say?
