Soul searching
In this life
I used to feel hope
I still believe in this
Each moment a little less
I feel abandoned in my feelings
They are difficult to repair.
I get broken each day
I speak about trauma
I keep these emotions in my head
I find myself hiding behind my smile
The fake one that shows my denial
I have thoughts of self harm.
No person should have to hurt
Themselves just to find some peace
I camouflage my feelings so well
It feels like I live in he'll
I hurt on the inside
Trying to push demons aside.
I want to be better
I know it can be manageable
But in my head it feels like
The world is closing in on me
I wish I can find the old me.
I feel trapped inside a cocoon
I would like to hatch
I need to end this
Find my happy self
And find my soul.
