Lost

I can no longer make out who I am anymore I've lost myself; I'm not who I was before I walk around with this smile on my face I'm acting the they want me to, and to me that's a disgrace My emotions have been stuffed away no longer my own I'm trapped inside myself, my true feelings yet to be shown I have a voice, but I'm not able to be heard I sit alone, unable to speak a single word I hate these feelings inside me, these feelings that dwell They have my soul on fire as if I'm living in hell I want to scream so I can get this anger out But instead I hold it in, and myself I begin to doubt I don't know who I am; I have been shut down It's hard to have an opinion when my speaking has no sound I whisper my frustrations into the wind But it only helps for a moment then I'm angry again Where did I go wrong, how did I get here? I'm tired and lonely, my life no longer seems clear There's so much aggression stored inside me I'm ready to break away; I'm ready to be set free My body is overflowing with so much rage my mind can't conceive It's only a matter of time before I breakdown without a moment to grieve Inside me there's this feeling only described as hate A feeling I didn't possess until I walked through this gate Now I've lost who I am, and who I want to be I am lost in myself; I have now lost me.
