The Mask of Ignorance

Can I be ignorant?

Is that okay?

Can I look past my problems like

The number of a page?

I feel so worthless

That I'm trapped all alone

And I'm being haunted

By my thoughts unknown

Surrounded by a storm

Which ends with doom

Fell without warning

A constant loom

My mentality

Went out of whack

My life was a train

That ran off track

No matter what I say

And forget the actions I do

This battle I cannot win

I'm cursed to always lose

The problems pile up

The air I breath, allotted

The walls close in

God, I'm claustrophobic

Can you look in my eyes

And say I'm lying?

Can you tell from my smile

I go to sleep crying?

I don't have the guts

To say everything

That's on my mind

Pushed away are my feelings

All day, all night

This monster roams

How could I not understand?

Once a foreigner

It's the king of my land

I did what I could

To win control

Though, you can see

That wasn't so

Do I need help

A  psychologist

Or is it too late

Now I'm faded to mist?

Give me substance

Make me whole

To be normal

Is my goal

Without dying

I wanna see the light

I keep trying

With all my might

My problems rose as master

I now a slave

Can someone help

Make me brave?

Lend me a hand

Instead of shoving me aside

I won't go far

Without a guide

In my life

I'm held down

Buried as I breathe

6 feet underground

Can't I stay ignorant

To keep things simple

Or will I always be

Emotionally crippled?
