How I Feel

I can't sleep, I'm always thinking
I'm staring at the wall, my eyes aren't blinking

I'm wondering where life will take me, when will it end
I feel so alone even though I have my family and friends.

I use to know who I was, but now it's like I don't know me 
I lost myself now, and I may never again be happy.

I use to cry and get shy, when I thought people would stare 
I use to help people anyway I could,  but now it's like I don't even care

Time changes everyone,and yes  I mean all
I stand alone, if I don't make it will be because of me if I fall

If I never trust anyone,  then I'll never get hurt
My feelings will never get stepped on or ran through the dirt.

The closest one to person, will be the first to do them wrong fast
They'll talk behind your back, they'll bring up your past.

Sorry if it's the truth and I'm just trying to be real
Hate me if you want but this is how I feel
