Lost

So I thought I had found myself.
I thought I had done the right thing and I hadn't.
Somehow everything right that I've ever done was wrong.
I had made the right decision and I had still made the wrong one. And I thought everything was going to change for the better and it hadn't.
And now everyone's telling me that I should've changed but I didn't.
Nobody warned me about the pain that you would have to hide,
About the suffering you would expirence,
About the battle inside.
And yet you LIED!
And so now I'm left with my tears.
It's okay tho, I've learned.
So I thought I had found myself.
I thought everything was going to be okay.
"Just follow your heart and somehow it will connect with your mind "
Or is it the other way around?
I'm hurting myself.
So I thought I had found myself but really-
I was more lost then before.
