Life feels like a rusty kitchen knife
The anxiety and stress of being alive
Sometimes we just want to melt away
Into a puddle of nothingness
Because your mind hurts like a rusty kitchen knife
And there is no light at the end of the tunnel
No escape from your mind
So we just live with the pain of a rusty kitchen knife

Everyone says its not that bad
Everyone says it’ll be alright
But no one can knows the pain of your mind
No one knows the struggle of living a day with your mind
Everyone thinks your just begging for attention
They think they got you figured out
But the man they know is not you
It's the mask you wear to protect them
They can't handle you so you make a new you
A imposter
A make believe person
A man of lies

I am gone and lost
I wonder if I could escape my mind
I hear the forest calling my name
I see a quiet waterfall and it’s soft, gentle trickle
I pretend to be happy when I am truthful lost
I feel the cool breeze taping my shoulder
I touch the grain of the wood
I fear I’ll get trapped in the city alone and lost
I cry when my thoughts prevail from the mental war that is my mind
I am gone and lost
I understand it must be this way
I say i’m fine when i’m burning on the inside
I dream to escape to the north
I hope I can escape my mind's horror
I am gone and lost

— The End —
