Island of Confusion
I’m a cast away,
 Standing barefoot in sand,
 On this island, 
 Which is all my own. 
 
 This isn’t a paradise,
 Quite the opposite in fact,
 I’m in my own personal cage.
 
 I’m left alone,
 My memories of you flood,
 Leaving me oh so dazed,
 And so confused.
 
 I wish I could explain,
 Let you feel how I do,
 But there’s just no way.
 I jump from enraged to embraced,
 It’s only been seconds,
 How can this be?
 Makes no sense to me.
 
 I feel so;
 Confused,
 Conflicted,
 Unsure,
 Who am I?
 What is this?
 How do I feel?
 
 I need someone to say it’s okay.
 To know how I feel and empathize.
 No more of this fake sympathize.
 
 Somebodys got to be out there,
 On their own little island,
 And they got to,
 Know how I feel. 
 Got to.
