im drowning

caught in a tangled web of secrets and lies

im drowning



nothing makes sense

no one is what they seem

the people i've known all my life

are merely watching while i hang on this beam



ready to fall at any second

with no one to catch me when i do

i'm hanging on for my life

waiting for the people i knew



to show up and save me

the way i thought they would

when i was young, innocent

that time when i thought everyone was good.



so many changes this summer

its hard to comprehend how

i never saw these people for what they were

and its crushing me because i know now.



the memories swim through my head

dancing their wild dance

a mesh of all the false smiles and care

every deceivingly loving little glance.



innocence, how blissful

that time when love was true

i thought i always had those handful of people

whose love for me continuously grew



its funny how i look back now

and think about everything i once believed

used to think everyone was good inside

never stopped to think i'd be deceived.



truth is everyone works

for their own self interest

humanity is dying everyday

politics corrupt the best



thought ****** p****** were filled with love

thought ****** would always care

my ****** has proved me wrong

now i just need someone to be there



to assure me i'll be alright

and that i will be truly loved someday

need someone to listen to my every thought

and be able to say



that they understand how i feel

and they'll always be there for me

to make me laugh, when everythings so wrong

and make me feel like its good enough to just be me.
