Lately I dont know how to feel.

But that’s just it. My emotions, how I feel,

Has complete control of the steering wheel.

 

I’m swerving left and right, don’t know where I’m going,

I’m digging deep, trying to find a map

But I just can’t find where I’m at.

 

Trying to remember what someone said,

or was there a landmark in the book I read,

the ideas and possibilities cloud my head

 

I’m confused and lost,

but I sure won’t admit it

I’ve got so much invested, I just have to finish

 

Fear and Pride meet,

what a deadly combination

they do a great job of adding to the situation

 

I’m so afraid inside

I know I somehow won’t make it

But outside I just have to fake it

 

I just keep driving here and there

pretending that I don’t care

I can feel the people stare

but look up, I don’t dare.

 

If I let them know I’m scared

or that my vision’s impaired….

They will give up on me

 

They will have no more hope

I will have failed, reached the end of my rope

With that, I don’t think I can cope.

 

I don’t understand where this comes from

or how to make it leave

because it doesn’t always work to “Just Believe”

 

I will be driving away into the dark

Set on finding something all by myself

Even though I really need help.

 

I don’t know how long this stubbornness will last

Or if I’ll ever learn to take off this mask…
