Lost...

Walking through this life feeling all alone My mind's a prison no escape from this home People come and go but they're all just the same They use me up then they leave with no shame Lost in this darkness, like a ghost in the night The world keeps turning, but I'm stuck in this fight Trust is a luxury, I can't afford to give They take what they want, then they watch as I slip I'm trapped in my mind, a prisoner of my own thoughts I walk this path alone with no one to catch me when I fall Life has lost all meaning, purpose slips away But I keep on going, in the shadows I will stay Lost in the shadows of my own design Keep walking forward in an endless line Used and abused I can't trust a soul Life has taught me that I'm better alone. In the depths of my mind, I'm lost in the abyss A twisted maze of thoughts that I cannot dismiss Haunted by my past, my heart bleeds and it breaks There is no more helping me, I'm drowning in self-hate Lost in my endless tomb No one to call my own Every day is a battle I'm fighting alone Nobody seems to notice The tears behind my smile The coldness in my eyes Somedays I just wanna die Every sunrise I find myself fading away The light can't reach me I'm trapped in shades of gray I scream into the silence But no one hears my cries Surrounded by a crowd All I can think is to hide But I'll keep on fighting Though no one seems to care I'll keep on striving I won't let in the despair I'll rise from the shadows Stronger than before In this world of isolation I'll make my own encore Dragging myself out of the dark, heading for the light My lungs straining to catch a breath, the surface in sight That was years ago and I still swim Struggling to reach the surface, when will it end?
