Can I please come down

SOS

Can anybody hear me?
Am I talking to myself?
My mind is running empty
In the search for someone else
Who doesn’t look right through me.
It’s all just static in my head
Can anybody tell me why I’m lonely like a satellite?


I could scream my head off and no one would stop and listen. The mass of bodies pass me, as if I’m not even here. Maybe I’m just a figment of my own imagination? The people around me push there way past all in a hurry, my voice reaches no one. No matter how much I scream for someone to look at me, no one hears me.

‘Cause tonight I’m feeling like an astronaut
Sending SOS from this tiny box
And I lost all signal when I lifted up
Now I’m stuck out here and the world forgot
Can I please come down, cause I’m tired of drifting round and round
Can I please come down?


All around my tiny box apartment, there was nothing, only one bed. SOS signs where posted all over my room. Repeating over and over Save me. Hateful words where littered through out the SOS’s and I have no safety from them. I am the one who posted them.

I’m deaf from all the silence
Is it something that I’ve done?
I know that there are millions
I can’t be the only one who’s so disconnected
It’s so different in my head.
Can anybody tell me why I’m lonely like a satellite?


The pain seared through out my body. I am weak. I don’t fight back. No matter how hard they hit me. I am scared of them, scared of what they will do and what they have done. I fear for my life when it’s in there hands. No one bothers to stop this. No one even notices that this is happening. There to caught up in there world.

‘Cause tonight I’m feeling like an astronaut
Sending SOS from this tiny box
And I lost all signal when I lifted up
Now I’m stuck out here and the world forgot
Can I please come down, cause I’m tired of drifting round and round.


Blood stains my hand as I huddle in a corner, my hand holds my head as I bleed. The only thing that’s keeping me awake is the freezing concrete at my back. My world is a tiny box with no way out and no way in. So how did I get here?

Can I please come down?

Now I lie awake and scream in a zero gravity
And it’s starting to weigh down on me.
Let’s abort this mission now
Can I please come down?


The white door swings open as I push it. In my fury I throw the only things I own around my little box. Smashing what can. Tearing the SOS’s only to throw those around also.

So tonight I’m calling all astronauts
Calling lonely people that the world forgot
If you hear me come pick me up
Are you out there?
‘Cause your all I’ve got!


The tears stain my face as my back hit’s my bed. I try to wipe them away, but the more I do that the more that come. So I let them be.

And tonight I’m feeling like an astronaut
Sending SOS from this tiny box
And I lost all signal when I lifted up
Now I’m stuck out here and the world forgot


I push myself up clearing away the tears once and for all. The mirror shows me a person who is dead. That is me. I am dead.

‘Cause tonight I’m feeling like an astronaut
Sending SOS from this tiny box
To the lonely people that the world forgot
Are you out there?
‘Cause your all I got!


I throw my window open and push all of my signs out. All the SOS’s flutter down. All the hateful words fill the street below. All the hurtful letters that I wrote to myself landed below.

Can I please come down?
‘Cause I’m tired of drifting round and round.
Can I please come down?
Can I please come down?


 Laughing I hold my body out the window. Carefully pulling myself out. Clutching the sides to keep me from falling. How would my body look on the ground? Would people even look at me? I laugh some more as I let my grip go.

Can I please come down?
