Slowly Drifting

Stuck in a daze
Where am I now
Seems like all I can do is frown

Tears fill my eyes
I try not to cry
But droplets begin to trickle down

So filled with hate
There's nothing to do
Other than try living life how I should

Voices in my head
I avoid people's eyes
When I look up I feel the pain rise

Hate all the mirrors
Imagine glass everywhere
At least my reflection wouldn't have to stare

Wondering why
Things happen the way they do
Why do I always despise me and what I do

Shrugging it off
Trying to forget
But I can't seem to have a proper mindset

So I cry and cry
Hoping to fall asleep
Sadly as I drift, it's the nightmares I meet

Feeling myself
Fading away
I want to escape yet something makes me stay

Do they really care
I hope they do
The only reason I'm still around is coz I care 'bout them too
