Eyes Forward and Back
I am looking for my answers in all the wrong places
I am head down walking into walls and wishing that the blood washes me clean
I am hurting
I wonder who I am
I wonder where I'll go
I wonder which is best and which is best left alone
I feel so all alone
I feel so stupid
I feel
I want to stop
I want to go
I want to leave well enough alone
Who am I?
Do you know?
If you do
Please tell me
I really want to know
I write because I am happy
I write because I am sad
I write because the dark consumes me and all that is left is the bad
I sing so low no one can hear me
I sing so high that I squeak
I sing so that I'll remember that this is better than to speak
I know that this is sulky
I know that this is bad
I know that this is not salvation, but I continue and that is just sad
Who am I?
I really want to know
