I am…

I am lonely and conflicted.

I am lost in a dark void.

I am isolated, I am stuck in this shell.

My true self hides in the depths of my hell.

I wonder if I can fill the sky with shining stars.

I wonder what I really am on the inside.

I wonder if I can discover the missing piece.

I wonder if one day, I can take off my armour.

I can see myself decaying

I can see myself being dragged down by the many troubles that possess me.

I can see my dreams ahead of me, but only obstacles block the way.

I wish I could knock down all the barriers.

I wish I could express myself, even in this vast field of messed-up thoughts.

I can wish, I can wonder and I can see,

But I am still lonely and conflicted.
