as I once was

this feels as before

as I used to be

staring at the ground

following whoever is in front

never feeling strong enough to lead

as I once was

before my confidence was lifted

and now it's crushed

I'm engulfed in a hole

trying to crawl out but

always being beaten down again

can't escape this

want to be free from the feelings

that are eating my heart

making me hate and never

ever a joy within it
