Who Am I?

Who am I
Why am I here
These are the questions that haunt me
The questions that I fear

I use to think I could answer them
I use to think I knew
Now I know I can't 
I have no idea how to

Everything I believed in
Everything I stood for
I went against it all 
I don't know what to believe anymore

Everything happened so fast
I don't see a way out of it
I don't know what to do
I just want to give up and quit

Everything is so confusing
How did this happen to me
When did I lose myself
When did I lose my identity

Hopefully one day I'll know the answers
Hopefully one day I won't have to fear
Who it is I am
And the reason why I'm here
