The Internal Dialogue

Unknowing who this person is
Could be me but I do now know?
Don't recognise myself
Don't recognise my own
reflection of me
This image portrayed before me
Is it just a fallacy?

What does the mirror see?
What am I supposed to be?
What lies inside?
Why do I need to hide?

In the ways of being
Where does one fit?
Where does one belong?
How do I know if I'm on
the right track?
This I need to know

There's not a soul to see
What am I supposed to be?
What lies inside?
Why do I need to hide?

Holding back takes its toll
Through all the years
what have I done?

Look back did I ever achieve
anything for anyone?
Blank stare in front of me
Broken vision, my life undone
Does it show what's truly inside
Can the truth lie in disguise?

With my head in my hands
My stomach tied in knots
This panic stirs my thoughts
Will the silence ever come?

So immersed in self-misery
In a world I have divised
Begin to understand
My thought's a will
to achieve
Allowing thought control
Don't see what's truly real
With many a distraction
Takes the mind off the mind
Off the mind

With my head in my hands
My stomach tied in knots
This panic stirs my thoughts

Will the silence ever come?
Tell me what I'm supposed to be?
Tell me what lies inside?
What does the mirror see?
Why do I need to fucking hide?

Just a panic in thought
Watch it all disappear
This anguish I once owned
Is not for me to adhere to
Peel away this self made crisis
Shedding the skin of doubt
Was in such a state
We must embrace who we are

I know who this person is
Recognise myself, my face
The voice now ceases to exist
I am free to be
