Hopelessly Hopeless

I am smiling
but I hide
All my sadness
deep inside

I am searching
but I can't find
Any peace
of mind

I am lost
but on track
To finding
my way back

I am trying
but I regress
Even though
I try my best

I am hopeful
but afraid
That I will always
feel this way

I am changing
but the same
Core parts of me
remain

I am progressing
but I know
I still have a 
long way to go
