Lost Control

I’m trying to stay in control
I’ve lost so much of me today
Please someone tell me it’s ok
I’m not as strong, I’m feeling weak
My heads spinning, no heart left to hold
The masks I wear hide all my pain
I’m praying for me to stay afloat
Not wanting this world to cause me to sink
To see this pain in my eyes I do hide
Remove this mask, tears fall like rain
Put it to the side, don’t run and hide
Won’t try and scare you away, please stay
All this misery, I’ve kept it locked up
Just come closer to me, you will see
The real me, locked up far away
Deep inside becoming hostile
