Staying Alive

A little poem of mine. I wrote it on a summer's day when it was too warm to do anything but lie on the grass and bleed all over my notebook.
Enjoy :)

Staying Alive

We are all searching for someone to understand us

Someone to care about us more than we care about ourselves

Someone to write out suicide note to

Someone to watch us fall

We are all waiting to be found

For someone to treat us like were extraordinary

Even though we’re not

We are all waiting for someone to open the door

And find us in the dark

We all want someone to search for us

To walk to the ends of the Earth searching for a sign

That we still exist

We all want someone to follow our footsteps in the sand

To hear our wordless cries for help

We all want someone worth staying alive for.
