Confusion
Sometimes I smile without a care in the world
Ready to face all the challenges hurled
No fear of failure, no thought of regret
I'm focused on success, my mind is all set
Then out of the blue, my world crumbles down
In failure, anxiety and hopelessness I drown
I want to believe, but I can't see the light
I'm trying to get clarity, This confusion I fight
I hear voices of hope and some of despair
These voice get louder it's so hard to bear
I fight to get answers, I need to be strong
These are questions of life, I just can't get wrong
Why doesn't, my heart and my mind get along?
Only confusions and chaos is what, they prolong.
My minds filled with madness, there are voices I hear
Telling me things that I should do, but I don't want to hear
