Lonely and tired,
Perpetually sad.
Always feeling undesired,
Always feeling bad.
All I want is happiness,
is that to much to ask?
A life full of greatness,
Without wearing a mask.
A mask i started wearing,
when I was very young.
Never able to be me,
no matter how hard I clung.
Now I am an adult,
the mask still on my face.
My true self hiding,
because she feels she has no place.
No place in this world,
feeling judged and condemned.
Is it all in my head?
Will I ever mend?
Today I'm trying to be hopeful,
for a life with less grief and pain.
A day when I'll be at peace,
A day I will obtain.
Tonight I look up to the sky.
Tonight I ask for guidance.
Tonight I ask for clarity.
Tonight I ask for strength.
Tomorrow when the sun will rise,
A new day it will be.
With the brightness that I desire,
And that only God can provide.
