Empty

I...I'm beside myself
I...I'm drowning in this....in this
Always alone, maybe I'm better off
I should get used to this, been this way for so long
I should already be used to this
This emptiness I feel....when I feel at all

It's not normal I'm not o.k.
I shouldn't have to feel this way
This is not the way it's meant to be
I know there's something more for me but

I...I just want to scream sometimes
I...I hate everything sometimes
I cry in my sleep and I scream in my mind
I'm so lonely and angry and it don't seem right
But what else can I do but come unglued
I don't know what to do

It's not alright I'm not o.k.
It shouldn't have to be this way
I can't figure out what's wrong with me
Why am I so empty

I feel caged and I feel trapped
I try to bend the bars and I scratch and scratch
At these walls in my mind but they won't budge
I don't know what to do

It's not alright I'm not o.k.
I hate this more day after day
I want my life back I want to be free
I want to be me

It's not alright I'm not o.k.
Someone make this go away
I don't know where to go I don't know what to be
What's wrong with me

why do I feel so empty

    You know what's wrong with you?: teenage depression. Big shock huh? I actually have a fondness for this song. I've tried to write lyrics but I can't seem to get the pattern right. Anyway: What does this emptiness and pain feel like? Is it that you're threatened by something, or is there just no reason? ((see: "What Have We Done?" on my page.))
