I Lost Myself In Madness

I lost myself in madness
 I lost hope in me
 I Became this person 
 A person that made me feel numb
 I became one of them 
 Instead of becoming me
 The me that I once was
 The happy, joyful,
 Not caring what anyone thinks of me
 I lost myself in madness 
 I lost hope in me
 Became like the person 
 That wanted to mold me 
 I had to be perfect 
 I had to be like them 
 I lost myself in madness 
 I lost hope in me
