There was a time when i could look into the day and see what tomorrow would hold
A time when i looked forward to the next day and the bounty i could bring
Long ago i could feel the sun on my cheeks and not regret getting up out of bed
In the past there was a happier me, a me that was able to look into the future and see hope
Those feelings slowly got washed away with time and age
There is only the hollow me i present to those in this reality
Having nothing truly to show and the face i wear is a mask built by despair
The beautiful things i used to see are now gray and withering away
I used to be able to replicate emotions and put on a smiling face
Made up personalities just so i could deal with my made up reality
Once! I believed that everything would work out and be alright
Now the road has lead me to believe in taking my life
None know how many tears I shed within this shell of lies
The walls that i have built to conceal my weakness have now become my prison in which there is no breaking out
There is the truth that i have not revealed to anyone
My soul has died and i am a ghost left to wonder this empty life, void of happiness or purpose
