Somebody, please?

Will somebody please?
Will someone please talk to me?
I've been weighed down,
By deeds I wish I could explain
To the world that they weren't my fault
Will somebody please talk to me?

The world only witnesses the brave,
And condescends the timid.
Why is timidity such a bane?
Is it not often gifted by pain?
I've become timid and I wish
I had someone to explain!
Will somebody please talk to me?

The night isn't just time
It's a pathway, a storyline,
A graveyard, a cold storage.
Where things just lay
As barren as they are
As naked as they are,
Frozen in time, buried within layers,
Waiting for darkness to set them free.
Will someone lie down next to me?
And spend the night for free?
Will somebody please talk to me?

I'm not a person with many shades
And thus invisible to the world that's grey.
But I deserve my happy days,
Which the world often takes away.
They say it's you, and not the world,
But that's a fecal lie,
For the ship doesn't drown on its own,
Unless dismayed by the tides.
They ask to pursue happiness,
I ask, why?
Why doesn't it come naturally?
Like the rains from the sky?

I have sundry wishes,
To write the story of my life;
And make sure it's a good one.
To dictate terms, once in a while,
To fuel my ego, but drown my pride,
To hear my name resound through the aisle.
To spend without constraints,
To compete and defeat big names.
Strong biceps and a broad chest;
To lie peacefully on her naked breasts.
Will someone please talk me out of it?
And convince me that not everything is there to be had.
Will someone please talk me out of talking to people?
Oh, the irony!
Will somebody please talk to me?
