I'm Lost

In this world full of unexpected,

In this world when happiness is temporary,

In this world that living

the way you should be is not easy,

Proving yourself is like

you are in the battle that winning is shaded.

In this society that the only thing

should be seen is perfection,

How can you fight back?

If the only reason

why you are still standing is gone,

How can be a person who has nothing left

can be the last man standing,

If standing and proving is the reason,

He bragging down himself.

I can't stand alone,

I can't do it on my own,

Please rescue me,

I am drowning— I can't breathe,

Find me a new home.
