I feel weak, I feel shallow
I feel stupid, I feel hollow
After all no one knows me
And I got nobody to hold me
Everytime I head out my door
I put on my mask and start waving hellos
Meaningless conversations, meaningless bonds
No one can see through this mask I have on
Those few that do, try to pay their respects
Ask me if I´m okay, they hear a yes, and then I´m left
Left to my own thoughts, struggling for air
And ending up feeling that its too much pain to bare
Happiness only when shared
Echos through my thoughts
And I cant remember the last person who cared
All I remember is wasting my time on sluts
Im deep in this hole I´ve dug for myself
I try to escape, I´m shouting for help
The light seems farther away than I remember
And I dont know, but I think of surrender

I can feel the hurt in this and all the other sad saturated emotions on this. A honest and crucial look at oneself that would make the mind uncomfortably try to shift focus. There seemed to be a couple of areas where the rhyme seemed off but overall this was a great piece and I really enjoyed it! Thanks for your entry and best of luck in the contest!
