Circles

Walking in circles
Going through the motions
Not dead, but not alive
In a state of desolation

Fake a smile, hide the tears
Long sleeve shirts to cover the scars
Living almost isn’t an option
I’m going to sleep staring at the stars

Smear on my mask
My default face I drew
A facade everyday
No one can see through

I’m walking circles
Don’t know where to go
Everybody’s watching
But no one knows

Round and round
I’m still wandering
Wonder how long I’ll carry on living?
I sat, pondering

Finally, someone sees
Breaks the circles’ lines
Pieces me back together
Ripping me free of my vines

I’m myself now,
Don’t know who I was before
I was lost, walking in circles
But now I’ve opened a new door
