Locked Away In An Old Person's Body

How much longer must i wait,

Till my body just caves in.

How much longer must I wait,

Till they do something.


I've been in pain most of my life,

And here I am to say how i feel

As i'm being tortured from inside.


Everything aching, Everything burning,

Unable to move, Unable to breath,

Unable to think, Unable to speak.


Locked away in a Old Person's Body,

But i am young,

Still have my youth left to live.

But here i am unable to move just a little bit.


People have judged me,

People have stared,

People didn't believe me and the truth that i shared.


I need you to love me ,

For all that i am,

I need you to accept me, For who i am.

Please don't walk away from me in simple disbelief.


How much longer must i wait?

Until i just cave, Until i just give in.

Because the pain is real,

As it rushed through my body


I sit and cry most nights,

afraid for my life.

Unsure of where I'll end up,

A wheelchair for life perhaps

I sit awake most nights,

Afraid for my life.


I am locked away in a Old Person's Body,

screaming to escape, but no one can hear me,

Not a single sound, Not a single peep.

How much more can i take?

I'm beyond cracking point.

How much more tears must i cry before i get help?


my life is gone, I have nothing left.

No will to keep me going.

Nothing to keep fighting.


For i am young,

Locked away in a Old Person's Body,

Crying to escape,

To get back to normality.


How much more do I put myself through?

How much more times do i have to watch my family,

watch me fade away from the person i was

to someone i am not.


For i am gone, For i am empty.

I have no fight left within me,

For I am broken,

Filled with pain and sadness

For I will never heal,


because, I'm locked away,

In a Old Person's Body.
