Sanity

What have I got to lose?
The answer is nothing.

Time have changed everything,
including myself,
For the better or worst,
I honestly can't tell.

As the years goes by,
I feel like I'm becoming someone else,
Part of me which makes me "me",
Is starting to fade away.

With a mask I don,
And a smile I wear,
I shunned my deepest thoughts,
In the darkness,
Where even the brightest of lights can never reach.

Lying seems like an easy way out,
And it is,
It has become my forte without my knowing of it.

Chains which ties me down,
continues to drag me deeper into the pit,
As I go deeper,
I start to lose part of myself.

Sooner or later,
I'm afraid,
I'll disappear without a trace.
