I hate this place,
this hidden cave
This place I go
when I can’t cope

It cuts me off
from all I love
It cuts me off
from any hope

There is no light
Its dark in here
I don’t care
Don’t want to see

I cry my tears
While no one sees
These tears I cry
While no one cares

This pain I feel
I can’t explain
No one cares
Alone again

I push them away
They do not try
To stay around
And I know why

Not worthy of
Another’s love
Just poke and prod
And push and shove

I love this place
This hidden cave
Where I go when
It gets too much

Don’t bother me
Just stay away
Leave me alone
In my misery
