Real World

I've gone ahead on a mission
To find who I truly am
But I came up empty
With a broken heart in my hands

You claim to know me
To see within my soul
But how could you?
If I don't even know I have one?

I've known you for two seconds
And you're already trying to change me
You might think you're helping me
But have you even met me?

I used to laugh a lot
Now my mouth feels heavy
The shadows of my past
Are burdens I have to carry

Do I look that lost?
Am I in need of charity?
Please tell me I'm not
Cause I could never accept it

The real world is harsh
We do what we have to survive
I got broken inside
But this is my life.
