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.
