I Am Failing Myself

I am failing myself
Falling into their traps
Losing myself in their lies
Hiding within myself, dying
I need to break free of these chains
Find myself again
I can’t do it
I’ve lost myself forever
Just a piece in their games
There is no helping me
I have failed myself
There is no going back now
