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!

My favorite line... I wear a mask because I am confused, I search but can't find me. Sometimes art imitates life. I find this transparent piece full of hope. Kudos!
