Tangled

I can feel myself going backwards
Sinking into former insecurity

I care how people think about me too much
I try too hard to please everyone around me

It's like I'm walking in circles
Tying myself up
Tighter and tighter

Until I can no longer breathe
Until I no longer know how to
Until I trip over my own feet

And no longer want to get up

I smile when I don't feel like it
I play a role I'm not fit
I stumble my way trying to fit in

When all I really want to do is quit

Because I feel so alone
I have friends but I no longer know them
Because I no longer know who I am

And my friends would hate me
Ask me why I'm drifting
Why I seem so distant
So awkward amongst those who should be comforting

And all I want to do
Is curl into myself
Block the entire world out

And pretend I'm all I need

And maybe finally learn to be me

And be what they all see
