Another Face


To some boys and girls I am no one. I’m just there to fill empty space. Each day is a long run And I never seem to win the race. I’m just another face. My heart becomes weaker everyday Even when I do the right things I change but not in a good way. And to me everything is crumbling I’m only trying to find my place. I’m just another face. Lord I don’t understand I am seriously lost. Please give me a hand. Lead me to the cross. Help me overcome the obstacles I cannot erase. I’m just another face. I always put myself down And now I’ve stopped having hope Continuing to feel unfound. I have this pain and it is like a rope. Pulling away what I attempt to embrace. I’m just another face. Why can’t I see joy? Why do I feel trapped? My life I cannot destroy Happiness is what I need to adapt I can’t always hide. For this behavior mustn’t continue this way I struggle to find my stride And this is what I pray. Fulfilled life is the case. I’m just another face.
