lost and heartbroken
Lost in the labyrinth of my mind,
Bound by despair, with no respite to find.
My heart's chained to this life of strife,
Though all around me, family tries,
To break through my resistance and unite.
But I push them away, despite their plight,
Fear of rejection gnaws at my heart.
Dad's faith in me seems distant and apart,
Sister struggles to comprehend my pain,
Trapped in repetition, my story unfolds,
The same mistakes, the same role.
Mom tries her best, but I stumble and fall,
Yet I persist in this cycle cold.
