Conflicted

Countless hours

I've wasted

Trying to figure out

Someone else's

Hidden agenda

Sly pretenders

Focused on

The External

Mentally

People hurt you

Desert you

In unwanted thoughts

Cost

More then time

Looking at

My projection

Missing's my reflection

All I see

Is those

Who've seen me

All in which

I've studied

Everything

Except peace

So much

In which

I have lost

Internally I've gained

Manifest

Through pain

Stories untold

Words

Never expressed

Awakened

My subconscious

A dreamers

Death



Stained is my

Soul

My youth

Beholds

Transgressions

Of being

Old
