Who am I

Who am I?
Not a person I should be
I’ve lost myself
I can’t find the true me

Please take my hand
and lead the way
down the path
of souls gone astray

I feel so blind
to the happiness I knew
I see rainclouds above me
where the sky is blue

I used to be pleasant
never a reckless child
but now the tables turned
my mind has gone wild

I fear a disaster
destruction of my mind
please take me out of this state
help me to rewind

Bind my hands
take my soul
help me find the warmth
That does not show

I can’t take this pain
not anymore
please don’t think I’m a traitor
my heart is just sore

I’m looking through
and beyond your eyes
I’m looking for
what’s behind the lies

I need you now
need you so close
I can’t move on
I feel so exposed

The world, it haunts me
its troubles, my ghosts
my body is shaking
I’m the devils new host

I’m tripping and falling
my breaths, they stagger
please rid me of my misery
with a life ending dagger

I feel nothing more
my heart has failed
I reach for nothing
and my sadness prevails

But I cling to a small thing
one feeling so true
I hang onto hope now
I hang on for you
