i don't know who i am

or who i want to be

i want to be a good person

for most i think that comes naturally

i don't know what i'm doing wrong

i don't know why i can't feel anything

i'd like to think that i can change

or that i could find what they call happiness

but for now i feel alone

i don't cry like i used to

it stopped hurting a long time ago

it's not that it got better

i just stopped feeling the constant pain

i don't do much of anything anymore

i look in the mirror

and i don't recognize the girl looking back at me

i don't like her

i wonder if i ever did

lost with no direction

i don't know where i'm going

the days just pass me by

i live in black and white

sad poetry
