You say to just let down the walls around
They are what keep you trapped in the dark
They were built from hurt to keep me safe
But now they have become a prison cell
And locked inside I have lost my faith
You say you must begin to trust
And then the prison will magically disappear
But trust does not grow easily for me
It is not something I can just procure
And the path to it I can not see
In sharing I have to fight against shackles of fear and shame
And in the moment these so often hold me back
These chains have not loosened over time
And I do not know how to get out
As I stay locked in this lonely world of mine
You ask why I stay in here as if it were a choice
I find it unbearable but do not know how to escape
I know the walls are within my mind
And that makes me sadder than I can say
Because a way to leave this lonely place I cannot find

I find it unbearable but do not know how to escape..... Good line, it happens to all of us sometimes. We would like to escape but don't know how that is why we are trapped into something we don't want.
