exposed

the blackness creeps around in silence and speed
it steals the happiness that my soul needs
for moments of bliss I suffer eternity
dreaming of a time from this prison I will be set free
I want my life back, I want to again be me
how did I lose myself so quickly?
once my confidence spilled out of everything I did
and even if it wasn't real, at least my insecurities it hid
now I feel naked and exposed
like I can't hide myself, I can't hide my woes
the emptiness aches savagely in my chest
until maybe I think this is all just a test
and maybe I am doomed to fail
to live inside my own personal hell
