Lost (in my pain)

People always tell me not to dwell on my pain,

It’s already too late cause I’m going insane,

It’s hard not to think about it when I’m always being reminded,

I don’t know what’s going on I used to be so strong minded,

I guess that was before I had to deal with all of this,

Let me not even sit here and begin to reminisce,

All these thoughts in my mind, all these emotions,

I think it’s cause of all the words that still remain unspoken,

All I do is keep on playing the same phrases in my head,

I don’t recognize you, you’ve become a compulsive liar instead,

Who knew that hearing that could have me so mortified,

I try to let it go but it has my mind preoccupied,

It sucks when you get lost in all your pain,

All I do is scream every day, please go away,

Apparently multiple people see a different me,

I’m still the same girl is all I want them to see,

But the pain sometimes makes me act differently,

I never meant to hurt the people I care about,

I was just a time bomb waiting to come out,

And now that I’m out, I got to deal with the mess,

You can definitely say it has caused a lot of stress,

Words of advice never get lost in your pain,

Cause you’ll do things you’ll regret and have people screech at your name.
