Lost in this world of confusion,
Not wanting to be just an illusion,
Invisible,
Unnoticed.
Not wanting to focus
On one thing,
Except for my daydreams.
All these emotions
Taking control,
Not knowing how to stay neutral.

Friends and families slipping
Apart,
Hate and anger doing their part.
The angels above crying for us,
Not knowing what to do.
I say destroy us,
In the end we will all 
Die in vain.
