I had hoped things would be different now. I had hoped I could face tomorrow with a smile and say "Yes I am alright," from the bottom of my heart. But hopes are are mere thoughts, simple wishes, no wait, they're worse than wishes. Wishes can inspire, hopes can only drown you in self-pity. So what if I didn't want to realize the truth; if the truth can set you free, than I'd rather be locked up inside my mind. I can always trust my mind, right? Wrong, your mind's turning against you and viciously attacking your emotions. So where can I go, who can I turn to? There's nowhere to go, you're trapped inside your head. You can turn to look but everyone left. I guess the people you created got tired of listening, so they shriveled up and disappeared. I guess that means that they've left you all alone with your thoughts. Sorry, but you can't escape.
