No One Would Know But Me

Now there is no sound 
By my word I am bound 
For the first time I want my head in the clouds 
But I'm lost in the crowd
And can't get out.
How,
Did I get here to begin with?
What did I do to deserve this to begin with?
What should I do to be free to begin with?
All I ever wanted was to go to begin with?
Please...
I know that I need time that isn't mine but if you don't mind just give me a chance and tell me where to sign 
Because I would rather die
Before I could take another breadth of regrets
And mutilpy it by a width of mistakes to find my area of failure 
I KNOW I AM A FAILURE!
At least now I don't need to prove it.
I could fail again with my eyes closed 
And no one would know 
But me.
