Am I Me?


Chasing worries away all day I fade 

While I wait for someone to notice I'm not ok

My laugh fades

I put on a mask Pretend that I'm not fake

Wishing I didn't have to remember things from the past

Trying not to be happy cuz I know it won't last

Feeling that pain

Wanting to throw my life away

Trying not to cry

Keeping my emotions inside

I wish I could burn My worries away

Make them fade

Awt night while I lie awake

My brain plays a confusing game of pain

Stop thinking about your recent heartbreak

Long love lost

and a heavy heart hurting

Slowly my depression fades

I sometimes feel somewhat ok

But I could prove it's not true

Sing a song of love and peace that won't come to me

To remind my that my life is

SHIT.
