In my heart
Questions arise,
Questions I ask a thousand times
What am I good for
Do I try for nothing
All I ask is to understand why
Why am I so unlucky
Tears flow from my heart
One I cannot explain
Where am I supposed to go
I'm lost.

In this realm
I see only pain,
Pain even in happiness
Do I belong here
Am I worth anything
All these questions ***** me
They are all I ask.

Give me a reason to keep trying
My heart wishes to know,
Do I give up
Do I keep pushing
Every word I know disappeared
They vanished like smoke
To this day names cling to me
Worthless, useless, clumsy
Fears I hoped died a long time ago
They resurface
All I do now is doubt
I doubt I belong
