Write me away

Write me away.

Write me away through the pain

Through the darkness

Write me away through the sadness

Through the disappointment 

Write me away 

To another place where everything is alright

Write me away for not being strong enough

For not being good enough

For not being brave enough

Write me away for disappointing you 

For letting you down

Write me away

Where it’s OK

Help me find the words that free my heart

That give me strength, courage and hope 

Let me find the my words so I can say them 

Out loud

So others will hear me 

and say them too.
