Hear Me

Sometimes i'm lost 
sometimes i'm found 
and the voice inside my mind keeps screaming just be happy 
but it's not that easy
Every step I take inches me forward into another lane of sadness
   I wonder if anyone's watching 
I wonder if anyone can hear me 
  Can they see that i'm drifting off
    i'm nearing unchartered territory 
      soon I'll be gone and you won't be able to pull me back 
do they hear my voice as it echos from afar
  Notice the tears that I tried to hide behind my eyes
    the many sighs 
    the smiles that I try to prepare to seem happy
     don't take pity on me though cause this state i'm in was bound to happen 
   it's a never ending cycle and it's my destiny to be unhappy.
