Relate:

You've always wondered if this life was just a dream

Or if anything is as real as it may seem

Sometimes you look in the mirror and see only you

And wonder if any of the lies told were actually true

You feel as if you've been locked in chains and sealed behind a wall

Maybe you wonder whose name you want to call

Did you ever put your trust in someone and come to regret

You have and now you just want to forget

Have you tried so hard and was told it wasn't enough

But in the end you stood up and acted tough

You see yourself walk to your lonely confinement

Feeling as though this life was just an assignment

Now you look out the window and see the world on fire

You feel the urge to go out and feel its desire

Then thoughts fly out into your mind, "Is this who I really am?"

You feel as though your soul is caught in a jam

Where should you go, what do you have left

Do you feel as though your life is just a theft

Thinking they're not real, you just want to leave 'em behind

But you will always know they are stuck in your mind

So when you feel all alone and down

Here's a poem that'll make you feel found

I was the one trapped in the corner knowing only hate

My heart held back, emotions locked behind a gate

But I found who I was through words that did not seem real

And these words, these thoughts, and poems I did not steal

This is me and this nobody can change

I found I was not alone and it really strange

But their friendship changed everything for me

I thank you now, thank you for setting me free
