57: A TOURIST IN THIS WORLD

I am a careless tourist,
Listening to sad songs whilst they laugh

I want to join them, to smile as they do,
I just don't know how

My mind has this fun game of making me trust and love,
And then make up lies that I am not good enough

I hurt them by hurting myself,
And every inch of my body is scared from times when I have lost

I will never truly know them,
Because they will never truly know me.
