Transparent

I feel lonely in my crowded home. 
Where peace of mind didn't exist at all.
Happiness dares not, to knock on my door.
The one I should be trying to escape towards.

Spinning in circles.
I can tell you what's next.
A repetition of disaster.
 It's my life of self neglect.

Why do I stay? Because its familiar.
I'm terrified of new things. 
But I do dream of better.

I'm more than a mess. 
Where do I begin? 
I feel I should call out for help.
But where are any friends?
Alone I am. I just exist.
More like a ghost, who's transparent.
