can someone please help me
i don’t know what to do
i don’t know how feel
can someone please tell me
i don’t know how to act
i don’t know to speak
i don’t understand new words
i feel like a freak
i don’t know what to do
i don’t know what to feel
can someone please tell me
i can’t control my emotions
i don’t know what i’m feeling
i spend my time alone
aimlessly staring at a ceiling
i don’t know what to do
i don’t know what to feel
can someone please tell me
i can’t speak to my parents
they never understand
they wouldn’t comfort me as a child
but rather yell and reprimand
i don’t know what to do
i don’t know what to feel
can someone please tell me
my future is unknown
and the fear consumes me
but deep down i wonder
if i’ll even make it to twenty
i don’t know what to do
i don’t know what to feel
can someone please tell me
i feel sick all the time
my stomach is always in knots
i can’t remember feeling carefree
i watch my childhood memories rot
i don’t know what to do
i don’t know what to feel
can someone please tell me
i wake up in the morning
made it through another night
but i don’t feel hope
i wallow in strife
i don’t know what to do
i don’t know what to feel
can someone please tell me
i don’t like being seen
please don’t notice my presence
i want to cry in conversations
i rethink every sentence
i don’t know what to do
i don’t know what to feel
can someone please tell me
it’s like i’m being watched
an animal in a zoo
every blink monitored
judged by every move
i don’t know what to do
i don’t know what to feel
can someone please help me
can someone please help me
