Born Free

"Born Free" has to be my least favorite song.
It's reminiscent of the day when I was born.
I don't know what it was in my life that went wrong,
but at some point I was born free of everything human.
A bottomles void possesses me deep within
completely devoid of any true feelings. 
Just to get through my day I fake all the emotions
with everyone I meet just to fit in.
Wearing a mask day and night is very exhausting.
Thankfully, all of this will one day come to an end
with death being my only one true salvation
and once more I will be born free again.
Born free from a life of isolation. 
Born free from feeling like an alien.
Born free from not feeling anything at all human.
Born free from not feeling anything other than depression.
