Me

Heartaches abound
There's pain everywhere
No one understands
No one really cares

Trying to work
Through the thoughts that bind
Wrapped around my soul
Alone I'm confined

Not sure where I'm headed
But I know where I've been
I can't manage to let go
All that confines me within

Please take this pain
That resides in my head
The echoes haunt
What my heart hasn't said

I'm tired of saddness
My will is weak
I feel like dying
But hope I seek

What purpose do I have
To survive one more time
I've been convicted by all
Of a serious crime

To be who I am
I've tried to accept
Judged by many
I now feel inept
