Aiesha Freela - Despair

Despair, pain, sadness, heartache
I’m dying inside
Can anyone hear me?

I’m aching to be loved and heard,
Yet everyone seems so oblivious to it

They treat love as if it were a scrawny little string
Why can’t I just get a single thread from that string?

Why can’t I get anything other than deaf ears to hear me cry out in pain?

Where’s my one-and-only?
When will I be someone’s one-and-only?

Time is ticking, yet its holding still for me,
Imprisoning me in a jail of sadness and no love

I dream of love every night, why can’t these dreams come true?

Can anyone hear me?
I’m dying inside, so emotionally dead
So dead inside
I’m just a shell of what used to be a happy and delightful girl

Can anyone hear me?

I said I’m dying inside!
