Introspective Afternoon
I'm not how I am
But for the things I've endured
I'm not me, but I feel indentured
To a life moored in apathy
I try every day to reach out
But my facade is keeping me at arms length
And I know that it holds me back
But I'm powerless against it's strength
I fight, I struggle every day
To be the me that I really want to be
But the me I really want to be
Is so far away, that I can't see
What it'll take to get there
It's so cloudy that I can't see
What I'm doing wrong?
Can you help me?
