Shell

I tried to put my words
Upon a piece of paper
Seems nothing was left inside
Just an empty shell

I knew so much bothered me
Yet all my life is gone
I fought so hard to get away
Now the shell is where I stay

I wanted to break out
When I did I only lost
Each time things grew worse
Until I had no where to go

Each foot made a deep impression
My scars grow longer with time
Now each waking day is a dream
My shell full of echoes

Was I ever any one?
Did I lose what was meant to be?
How'd I get to be despised?
My being faded away

Doesn't matter any more
I found my place inside
No one has to visit me
Or care that I exist

They only have to be themselves
Wasting no tears for me
I'm here alone inside
The place where I was born to be
