I’m drowning

I have to live today! I must burn and dream
To desire, plan, to be disappointed if needs.
Reached a dead end, scared, looking for my way out
I’m suffocating in fear, I reach out my hand after you.

My strength is gone, I die with every sigh..
To leave this place the desire of my heart.
My heavy chains bind cruelly, I am afraid alone..
I often doubt the bright future, I’m losing hope.

I try not to give up and go on with my life,
Leaving the past bitter years behind me. I sigh..
I’m drowning. I scream out loud: I am so afraid!
I live chained between lonely walls, lose my faith.

But I have to live today! burning with desire,
To dream and believe, I won’t burn in the fire,
Take my hand, hold me tight, don’t let me go!
Love me, support me, it will help me to grow.
