Lament

Say Goodbye,
Lose touch with yourself,
And who you used to be. 
Say goodbye,
Know no one
And defy reality. 

Say goodbye
To the girl you used to be.
Touch everything and feel nothing at all.
Say goodbye 
To that childlike
Fantasy 

Say goodbye
To the tiny hands of my heart,
Turn around and throw away the key.
Say goodbye 
Until my mind will fall apart
And I’ll know that I’m still not free.

Say goodbye

Don’t pity me.
