I used to think every person on this earth wanted to live
Until I met my own struggles and felt I could no longer give
The people around me the same love and affection
That they told me they gave me but I felt no satisfaction
I used to think every smile was honest meaningful
Until I was the one smiling while feeling empty and dull
I smiled with my mouth but my thoughts were crying
because more than before I truly felt like dying
And I used to think I craved all things I never felt
Until panic and fear were feelings I dealt
With every day from sunset to dawn
Even at night they made me want to be gone
You see, my thoughts are changing over time
The more I learn about experiences of mine
I still try to see positives and light
But the place in my head is darker than night
Instead of the old things I now try to envision
If my chancing thoughts that I create with precision
Will someday help replacing the tears I have shed
By planting a little light of hope in my head
