Do you remember all the stories
That you always used to read?
Of all the princesses in towers
That were not allowed to leave?

She would wait up in her so-called prison
Until her true love came to save her,
And they would ride into the sunset
To live "happily ever after."

My story is almost like that,
Except there is no one here to save me,
I have built up walls around myself,
Ones that only I can see.

I'm crying out from the inside,
Hoping someone will be able to hear,
The walls I've built up are collapsing
From the weight of all my fears.

If only there were someone
Who would come to my rescue,
I really wish someone would notice,
I really wish that it was you.
