Lost


I dont know which way I'm really going

Lost all hope and my peace of mind

Which I had a way of knowing

How to find myself in this thing called LIFE

Done so much wrong I dont know how to make it right

Lost who I am so within myself I fight

I hate who I've become but they say me and my father are just alike

So am I my fathers child or another mistake in my mothers eyes

My heart is filled with anger and stess

I close my eyes and hold my breath

I hope the pain will go away

Like you'd hope for the sun on a rainy day

But all we get is a simple gloom

I just briefly sigh and await my doom

I do not know what I'll become

Yet for now I'll just be the lost one

Lost at the age of 17

Steady searching for the real me

But how can that even be if everybody doesn't see

The real me... a human being.
