He asks me how I feel As I'm struggling to decipher what is And isn't real Drowning within emotion As I try to sever this subconscious Devotion to an illusion Confusion of delusion Becoming lost along the way The cost of worth I cannot pay searching deep within Determined to begin Calling forth my sense of will To self reflect until I stop ignoring the signs Reestablishing the lines Of my self esteem That I will redeem Because it's mine! As I straighten out my spine I look up and say I'm fine. Even though it may not seem it This time I really mean it.
