New World

I've tried to forget those times,
Those times I attempted suicide.
I hated my life and I was depressed, ya know...
My depression was bad and I just wanted to be alone.
I acted my way through life,
Went out with a smile and said I was “fine” and “alright.”
Even though I knew it was all a lie.
Not just to them, but to myself,
I thought after a while I’d believe it, well....
I had no positive energy flow,
What I had gone through, no one would know.
No where near the whole story, I wouldn't dare,
Why pour your heart out to those who don’t care?
I've tried to forget those times,
Those times I attempted suicide.
I hated my life and I was depressed, ya know...
My depression was bad and I just wanted to be alone.
What questions did I ask to get where I am?
I live in a new world that I cant understand.
No matter how hard I try, there's something inside,
That's blocking my mind... from comprehension.
I've had to be strong all my life for everyone else,
I never had the time to be anything for my self.
Here I am twenty-three,
I don’t even know who I am, my identity.
I must start anew, relearn my life differently,
Be happier and find who I am... just maybe...
