Emotions Take a Hold.

by Skyler Dudley

Four AM, here I lay 
Curled up body and emotions
I lay still with no motions
I used to tell myself it'll be okay 
With no one's touch but my own
I realize I have grown 
And yet nothing has changed

I cry and cry 
Until I am dry
There's no use in a try 

I'm jaded.
It's complicated. 
There's no more life in me 
Like a knife after its dulling 
Everyone keeps pulling 
And I can't stretch any longer 
Please, someone catch me

Please, take this hurt away
I don't want to be treated like dirt
Is anybody listening ?
