Five Days

What am I doing wrong? 
Everything is blowing up 
Losing my mind over this 
Can’t help but feel helpless 

Hiding behind a facade 
I’m scared to face my feelings 
I don’t want to talk about this 
Rather sink back and disappear 

In the end it’s all my fault 
Tried to lead and things failed 
Always wanted to be a superhero 
Instead I’m just acting cowardly 

Didn’t expect any of this to happen 
I knew my actions had consequences 
But I didn’t expect things to hit hard 
I should of just been more aware 

I know the right answer but
I’m scared to answer the problem 
I don’t want to hurt anyone 
With my actions and words 

I’ll do what I can for now 
And take a step back from now on
