Light of Darkness

My eyes are open so why can’t I see
This place is dark, cold and lonely
There were a few posers who gave me false light
Leading me on into this dreadful life
I have to live here where I know I’m not wanted
I’ll be leaving soon and they won’t hear from me
I’m tired of the lies, hurt and deceit
Where are the people who claim to love me?
Even in a crowd of people I still feel alone
I got one person I like but I can’t trust them at all
I’m letting the ones before who betrayed my trust
Make me believe you and I can’t be us
 I must admit he taught me a lot
Like I’m not the only person who has issues and I’m not all I got
