Tortured Soul
I am a tortured soul
tormented by my own fears and imaginations
push myself into a deep dark hold, to avoid emotions
when really I am creating more
isolated by thoughts of aloneness and death
together in a room with many people
all of whom are me
which one is the real me, and which should I show?
I present myself different to the people around me
adapt like a little chameleon to my immediate surroundings
who am I?
I am a tortured soul
tormented by my own fears and imaginations
try to make myself into a "me" I cannot possibly be
For I am me. I am different. Not from a mold!
Yet I try my hardest to be one of them
but who the hell are they?
nameless things percieved to be perfect
which I know I'll never be!
I am a tortured soul
tormented by my own fears and imaginations
hoping to rid myself of the demons in my head
that tell me who I am not, and who I should be.
why can't I just be me?
questioning who I am. I am real
do I really exist in this world
or am I just a being in my own?
I am a tortured soul
tormented by my own thoughts and imaginations
trying to find myself a place in this world
but scared as hell I won't be welcomed
so I stay safe in my own private hell
comfortable that I know that I'm ok here
I am it's creator and make up the rules
I am a tortured soul
tormented by my own fears and imaginations
and maybe someday I will venture out of my world
and find that I do have a place out there
even though it's scary as hell
maybe I will belong I will belong in it
and being a tortured soul won't be me
and I won't be tormented by my own fears and imaginations
maybe...maybe.
