I used to laugh out loud but today my soul began to cry
My heart grew roots into the earth so dry
How do I tame this swirling storm?
Its battering my mind until it's torn
How do I fix it?Β Β Is it even broke?
Are my words just my mental smoke?
From my innards as they burn
In the ashes is where I learn
Who I am and what I've become
Could I really be the one true ONE?!?
"TRUE"
I've never known..
Love for me has always been like a stone
Hard and cold my warmth never felt
I do my duties like no one else
Then again....maybe I don't
I'm suffocating from all my mental smoke
It's in me...like a treasure to find
Nobody has ever had the right mind
One choice
To live my life
Reality is cold and cuts like a knife
So I slumber
Escape to a fantasy
A role playing world where I display my mastery
Of my emotions
Let them live free
For that is who I am and what I'm destined to be....
