Alone In This Universe

I don't even know what i'm feeling right now.

I feel like giving up, like nothing's worth it anymore.

I need a change, for something to give.

But i'm stuck in this rut and I cannot get out.

I'm sick and tired of playing these games.

Why do I have to act like someone i'm not?

And how come i'm never good enough for anyone?

It's not like i'm a terrible person.

People just don't wanna take the time to get to know the real me.

Why Can't You See Me For Who I Am??

You sit there and judge me by what I say and do.
Did you ever stop to think that I do those things because I think it's what you want?
Nobody ever wants to take off the mask and see what's underneath.
I try to please you, but my efforts are in vain.
I wanna open up to you and just be myself, but you don't wanna let me.
It's like i'm hiding from your cruel gavel, sentencing me to life as a fake.
