Ode To Myself

By rondant

I need to find myself again
I feel like my walls are closing in
There's just so much pressure to take
If this is a dream, I wish to awake
Even thew people who never frown
eventually will break down
Life can be such a fight
It's getting harder to tell what is right
As i walk down this twisted road
With the weight of the world as my load
I don't know what i'm trying to prove
Because in the end we neither win nor lose
I need to shed this skin i'm in
And find my true self again
