My heart hurts
My chest is in pain
My stomach hurts
I think to myself
Who am I?
What have I done?
My head hurts.
My face is soaked
With tears
I think to myself...
I can go back to me
I can be a better person
I can achieve anything
But then...
Do me a favor
Believe me
Believe in me
Believe me
This isn't me
This isn't me
This IS NOT ME!
