Lost

It’s hard this battle I fight inside myself
Not knowing who I am anymore
Emotions and feelings constantly racing through me
But I can’t express myself as I did before

Sleepless nights with thoughts of when I lost myself
Trying hard to pinpoint when it all went wrong
Memories of my happiness are slowly fading
This confusion has been around far too long

Looking in the mirror is pointless
When you don’t recognize the person that you see
Staring so long into my own eyes
Hoping to catch a glimpse of who is, was me..
