Edge of a Tear
I lost my way a long time ago, feels like I lost my way a long time ago.
Right when I was supposed to be figuring out who I was,
Something frightened me and I was taught to fear and not to trust
So I don't know who I am, what I enjoy, or what I should be doing.
I lost my way a long time ago, feels like I lost my way.
I learned self reliance at an early age, responsibility robbed me of
Self discovery, because I was never taken care of,
No one ever saw me, so friends I lost my way.
I wear a mask because I am confused, I search but can't find me.
Its as if I have been invisible this whole time
I don't know who I am, no one gets me, but hey I don't get myself,
because I was never anyones priority, not really important,
Seen never heard, needed never appreciated,I have lost my way friend,
Feels like I lost my way.
I showed up unexpectedly , so no one planned, or prepared for me,
thus leaving me all alone, so I started off badly friend, that's how I
became lost so early on.
I couldn't figure it out, even though I really tried hard, I tried really hard you know,
but I just didn't understand, or get it.
So I have lost my way , lost my way a long time ago, and so here I am, now what!
