Do you know me?
Sitting upon the winds of change
 I see my former self
 How happy and gay I used to be
 When I thought myself to be free
 Now I know I am locked away
 In an emotional prison I will stay
 Will I ever get out you say
 Maybe I will
 Maybe one day
 The circumstance fuels the flame
 Of the inner struggle that used to be tame
 The riot inside is pushing to get free
 So that everyone around me is allowed to see
 The war within is one of blood
 My steady soldiers now stuck in mud
 They can't get free from the emotional trap
 And they fight to win
 Following the criss crossed map
 The one that led them astray in the beginning
 So lost in the woods they know the struggle is winning
 They hear the cries of the darker side
 And their hearts stop beating
 But at least they tried
 My steady soldiers lost the war
 They run away, their pride so very sore
 The darkness envelops my mind
 But I continue hoping that one-day I will find
 The very thing that I do not possess
 The courage to stand up to darkness, which I will confess
 So now I ask for you to see
 Look at my face
 Do you know me?
