A Shadow of a Doubt

A problem to tackle, having this lack of pride
When you know dealing with a loss of identity
It's like that case of doctor jackal and mr' hide
Trying to contain my anger and not get angry

But at times you just want to scream and shout
A test of ones might, ready to erupt, an inferno
Here I am again consumed with so much doubt  
But gone the light as I still lurk behind a shadow

And looking for acceptance approval, I have tried
It's this never ending mission of self discovery
But any hope seems dismal or access denied
I can't remember the person that I used to be

But if one actually knew how I really then felt
Yeah that’s right its like that same old sinario
When still now I'm trying to figger myself out
I guess I’ve lost sight lurking behind a shadow
