We may have lost track of time and everything that goes along with it,
In a world that no matter what we do each day, we will never fit.
No sense of direction in a world that has left us empty and broken,
Where happiness seems to be just out of reach, no matter what's spoken.

Alone in a world where we are different; unlike any other,
One where we will never be good enough for another.
The unspoken truth where we are alone and don't want to feel weak,
Even though we listen to what others say and listen to their critique.

Each word eats away at our core, each thought leads to more pain,
Never good enough, never happy; those thoughts that cross our brain.
Silent tears fall down to the ground, as we struggle to see the light,
Darkness and cold still envelop us, try as we might.

It is tough, for we walk the road of life alone at times,
Even if it feels as though we are paying for another's life crimes,
Hold on to that small glimmer of hope when it all seems to fail,
That glimmer is what will keep us on course, so we don't derail.

Things will get better and we will over come and we will cope,
As we face down our demons; for that thought is our only hope...
