In My Life Time (Age 20)

Every time I run and hide
getting close and lost inside

They ask, 'What's wrong?'
and I know they see.

Every flaw I create
is an anger I inflate.

This is not what I inspire to be
a persona lying to the world outside.

but can a world so damned
save a single soul?

I think we sometimes have to save ourselves.. the world can be such a harsh place with no comfort found. Felt the power in that 3rd verse!
