I feel the need to cry
but no tears will fill my eyes,
I want to just fall asleep into an endless dream
At least it is better then my reality,
I finally can't face my fears
my heart finally breaks,
I can't keep putting on this mask
I can't keep hiding behind this act,
I use to be a believer,
I use to be a dreamer,
Someone who always had faith
but now I'm lost in this place
where all hope is lost,
what else will became the cost?

I cant seem to find my way and get back to the person I use to be... but I'm giving it my best and my friends are helping me on the way.. thanks you guys! and thanks for everyone who helped me find a title on teenink"
