Confusion



Sometimes I smile without a care in the world
 Ready to face all the challenges hurled
 No fear of failure, no thought of regret
 I'm focused on success, my mind is all set

 Then out of the blue, my world crumbles down
 In failure, anxiety and hopelessness I drown
 I want to believe, but I can't see the light
 I'm trying to get clarity, This confusion I fight

 I hear voices of hope and some of despair
 These voice get louder it's so hard to bear
 I fight to get answers, I need to be strong
 These are questions of life, I just can't get wrong

 Why doesn't, my heart and my mind get along?
 Only confusions and chaos is what, they prolong.
 My minds filled with madness, there are voices I hear
Telling me things that I should do, but I don't want to hear
