Lost Identity
When they ask me
"Who are you?"
I seem to draw a blank
I dont know how to answer
And I dont know what to think
I try to come up with something
But there are no words to describe
The way I feel meaningless to this world
Like a sail boat is meaningless to kansas
I feel lost and confused
Not sure what it is im supposed to do
I have my reasons to feel this way
Yet I cant name one
I feel like Im suffocating
In this world
With no purpose in life
No direction
And no understanding of who I really am
I try to speak my mind
but no words come out
I want to tell them who I want to be
But that doesnt answer the question
I dont know who I am
And I dont know if I ever will
So when they ask me
"Who are you?"
I tell them
"I dont know"
