Lost Key



I have imprisoned myself, in my life;
Punishing my soul, by my own strife.
I disappear, and no one cares;
No one loves me, don't even dare.

I put myself in here, and lost the key;
Now I can't get out, I can't break free.
Within here, I am stuck and I fell;
Locked inside my own personal hell.

It's my own fault, that I am here;
No one to blame, but me.
My mind is my only fear;
Where is that d*mn key?
