Where Did You Go

You are a sad person, you know? 
Where's that unbending strength at? 
Where's that unbreakable smile? 
I'm the only one who understands how you feel. 
Your smile was always shining. 
But you lost yourself. 
You made this sadness grow. 
You tighten up your heart tight. 
You just gave up your personallity to be someone your not. 
My best friend 
The one I chase. 
Why did you vanish, without a trace. 
Won't you come back? 
Where did you go? 

-Michael Nguyen 

i ask myself where did i go 
i look for the answer everywhere, hoping to know 
i lost who i am and forgot the person i were 
im taking ppl for granted and pretending like i care 
i really do but this knew person just won't 
what is this new skin that covers the surface of my old 
it block the good and let out all that's needed to be told 
i am a sad person and i has its hold 
away ran my strength and now all that lingers is the cold 
my morining smile is now a dull penny 
all my needs are sacare and not plenty
