Lost

I lost myself -

Somewhere between birth and pleasing everybody else.

I can’t explain -

I let the world defeat me - the system beat me.

I’m absolutely drained.

I don’t know why -

I have less success for all the harder that I try.

I’m so confused -

And I think I fear it, but I don’t want to hear it,

especially from you.

When I find myself,

I wonder who I’ll see.

I’m what you want,

But that’s anything but me.

This is all so numbing -

The more I try to fit your mold, the less I like who I’m becoming.

‘Cuz I feel so fake.

So please try not to mind me, but you might find me,

a little hard to take.
