What Do You Wish for?

I wish to be me.

I wish to be free

From the chains of my mind

The demons and thoughts

By which I'm confined

The anger, the fear

That has made me go blind

The wall that I've built

Which I'm hiding behind

I wish to be me

The old me that shined

The happy and content me

That I can no longer find

As the happiness and contentment

Has left me behind

My reflection is now a stranger

And the only thing that is aligned

Is the tears that are running down

Both of our eyes

I wish to be seen

I wish to be heard

I want someone to listen

deeper than just to my words

I want someone to see

the pain and loneliness I've incurred

I wish someone would see past

My disguise that has emerged

When I'm trying to smile

And i say that I'm fine

I want someone to tell me

They know that I'm lying

I wish someone was there to

Throw me a lifeline

And reel me out

Because they see that im dying
