The image I portray is only an illusion,
To cover up the truth that I do need attention.
I look fine on the outside but I've disconnected,
I don't believe in anyone that can't be trusted.
I'm unreachable cause I've slowly faded away,
But I can still fool you with what I put on display.
You will never get the key to my inner true self,
I'm locked cause I don't trust you or anybody else.
There's a burning sensation that I have loved to hate,
A feeling of emptiness in me that won't vacate.
I'm trapped inside a depressed circle that has no end,
Each day passes and it does get harder to pretend.
I can hear your voice, it echoes within my mind,
But it's my unanswered questions I'm longing to find.
You won't knock down my walls that I have built around me,
I've become unreachable, lost who I used to be.
