Grey haze
Right now I feel hopeless
I'm struggling in my head
I feel stuck, I feel alone, I feel isolated
I don't feel the world is real anymore
and that I'm living a dream
I feel controlled by my thoughts
I always overthink the littlest things
I don't understand the world
I'm losing memory of my childhood
It wasn't always like this...
I used to be in the moment
I used to feel alive and
that the world around me was too
I used to go and see people
I used to be so bright and open
I saw a bright future ahead of me...
The people around me shut themselves
My plans were ruined because
"they were boring"
So I abandoned my joy
and shut myself as everyone else did
I wanted to be sad
I wanted to not care
I wanted to have problems
I wanted to fit in
but now I just want to
genuinely be happy again
I regret wanting this so much
and this is only the beggining
of my struggles...
