I'M In a Daze

I heard Tyesha all day long
Not knowing it' my name

I  hear this voice inside my head
It's so hard to explain

Dead I feel, Dead feel I , feel I Dead, I feel Dead
Can you understand a word I've said

Staring at pure darkness
Each and every night

Looking through my eyes not blind
Afraid to see the light

All along I thought, Usually it's true
Fearing for my life or death
What else is there to do

Sitting here all by myself
Avoiding many others

While wondering 
Why it may be
That I am made to suffer

Driving down the freeway
My mind goes in a trance

Trying to find my way home
I just missed my exit

I just daze off into the  clouds
Taking my mind on a different route

Thinking of life as it sits with me
How much I've wondered with reality

What could have been, What did I miss
If I had known, what I have shown

How my life would be today
If I can chosen another way

Struggling with all the possibilities 
What does this life hold in store for me

The need to stand still and think
Is brutally concealed to something that
Just cannot be

Holding back so much pain 
Is something that can take you over

Releasing anger, stress and disappointments
Is your road to a new recover

It's funny, I can't act
It's weird, I can't sleep
It's strange all I do is think
But it's normal I can't eat

Too much silence, I can't stand
Too much noise, I can't take
Being alone is what I hate
But the choice that I have 
Is not up for debate

A little girl, that left no trace
After all that is thought
Is soon forgot....
I'm truly in a Daze....
