There is no place for me
No place that feels like home
I no longer have a safe haven
No where to run where I feel safe
I am lost, feeling utterly alone in this world
I see the faces of those I love
They look at me and only see the mask
The smile that hides every broken piece of me
The laugh that muffles my cries for help
I hear their reassurances
The voices all saying the same thing in unison
They care... they love me
All muffled together until everything gets tuned out
To feel numb, to feel nothing
It may be the coward's way to deal with everything
But maybe then, I will finally get to experience some level of peace
I don't know where I belong
I don't know who I am now
But one thing is certain
I crave a place to call home
