Im worn down

Life's been especially hard lately. Feeling isolated and alone.

I stand in front of the mirror each day, 

I can't seem to recognise this face

this person in front of me doesn't feel the same

she's older, worn down and somehow hopeful

the years added wisdom as it did small wrinkles on my face

I'm only 27, but i feel stuck in the same place

as i was when i was a child, but the wonder seemed to dissipate

and the newfound knowledge took away my faith

I'm down on my knees praying for a sign

from a god, I'm not sure i believe in

my faith has been tested over the years

it's been shredded with all these tears

my lonely heart feels worn

I feel broken and torn

and I feel as if I'm breaking down

what is this thing we call connection

i don't feel as if I'm able to have a firm grip

on keeping a long-lasting friendship

i long for a companion 

some to confide in

but i feel as if these walls in my heart are too high

keeping away the hide tides

and trapping me in its place

I can't find a way out
