Me.

Living in shadows 
All throughout my past. 
Why am I the one
To always finish last?
 
To think, to seek
Knowledge to cast. 
When will I ever
Remove my mask?
 
See to me, this may be, 
Something I'd want to ask. 
What do you see in me?
Is it what I hide that may attract?
 
Time passes so fast. 
Can hardly keep track. 
Then I realize
All the qualities I lack. 
 
People tell me I'm funny. 
They say I'm cute. 
When really they're lucky. 
I just stay mute. 
 
Wondering if one day
The time will come
When all the pain 
And hurt be done. 
 
What I hide inside
Protects me from myself. 
Others forget 
About they're own health. 
 
Nights spent awake
Every second stronger 
No one could ever break 
What is no longer.
 
They ask me to describe myself
I always ask why. 
Should I tell them the truth
Or a simple lie? 
 
Questioning 
Everything
Am I really that interesting?
Should I believe such a thing?
 
Lies, pain, all words in vain. 
Do I deserve it?
Am I going insane?
 
Friends say their hearts are shattered
Don't know how to help..
My own heart's pieces are all over...scattered  
 
Will someone help?
Put the pieces together
If they did,
I'd love them forever. 
 
Feelings, emotions
All bottled inside.
One day I think
I might come alive. 
 
Beauty surrounds everywhere
Even the little things
Seems they're not there
No matter how much they scream and cry and sing. 
 
An angel without wings
Could be the only one
Thinking of such things
 
A loving mother's embrace
Wiping tears off her child's face
These are the memories i have misplaced. 
For the mind is nothing but a maze.
