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.
