I just need someone to hold me while I cry -

CRY FOR HELP

Hold me together,
I'm coming unglued;
I don't mean to be mad
And don't mean to be rude..

But life really is a bummer
Once in awhile -
It's been a long time
Since I really could smile.

I don't sleep well at night
And I eat like a horse -
My thoughts are just jumping,
It's a problem, of course.

Could be the holidays
And maybe much more -
It's hard to just go
And open the door..

I can't stand the lonely,
I don't like the dark;
I might need a friend
Who could relight the spark

Of a life that I crave
Just to be happy again -
It's my cry for help;
I'm drowning, I've been

Up for awhile then
Down into Hell -
I don't like it much,
(Can't you tell?)

Escape from the pain,
Reality I don't need -
Suicide's not an option
And yet - as I plead

I don't understand it,
I'm usually flying free;
I really love life
What is wrong - with me??
