I haven't been happy in a long while
But in all honesty I don't know how to change it
I don't know what to do with myself
With my thoughts my feelings
I've learned to turn them off
Bury them beneath a forced smile
The problem with that is they don't go away
When the people clear out
And I'm left with only myself
They arise from within and take me over
How do I get rid of this for good
I've been putting all my effort and strength into others
Neglecting myself
On purpose perhaps
But that of course doesn't work
It does the opposite in fact
Can someone look past their problems
Just for one moment and help me?
I've tried I can't do this on my own
