Bittersweet melancholy fills my lungs As I look upon the things I love Searching, always searching For a way to make it better; Make me better I feel so lost in a world so cold, Everyday I'm growing old But a look inside reveals nothing but a lost child; Broken and scared, afraid of my own mistakes. All I want to do is give But all I do is take, Another day, another head shake Trying to clear the cobwebs, The thoughts, my fears. A smile hides more than words can ever say, Still I put one on everyday With eyes begging for them to see, And a heart hoping they never do. Constant contradiction, stress with no relief Staring in the mirror with disbelief. When did I I begin to fade away As numbness starts to grip; Another day of darkness gives away to winter's nip.
