What Am I?



I lost myself
I need help
No one cared
It's life they spare

I touch myself and feel nothing
Not even a little something
I'm connected to the depths of shadows
I'm saying the goodbyes and no hello

I'm slipping away from the light
I cannot win this fight
Am I still a human??
This one thing I can't stand

I try to run from the shadow
But everywhere it just follow
I don't know who I am anymore
I'm heart is broken and sore

To all those who were scared
To me it's a nightmare
I guess is what you wanted to appear
Nothing just slip and disappear

To all those who cared about me
The sight that you all see
I have no one who cares for me
I can finally enter my eternal sleep
