Who I Am

 
Lost,
In the dark,
These twists and turns
Pull at my heart
Make my head spin
Round and round.
I scream and shout
And cry and run
But none can hear 
The silent ones.
 
 
Who I am
Hates who I've been,
But who I've been,
Hates who I am.
I don't know myself...
Anymore.
 
 
Afraid,
I hide alone,
Hoping, longing 
For a soul
To see me here
Look up, and up.
I cringe in fear
Yet there are none
Who can see,
The hidden ones.
 
 
Why does it matter?
Why do I still care?
If it hurts
I simply smile it all
Away.
 
Who I am
Hates who I've been,
But who I've been,
Hates who I am.
I don't know myself...
Anymore.
