In a world this complex, where do i belong?

In a world this complex
Where do i belong?
How can I possibly
Fight and stay strong?

Where perfection is the key
Where flaws create confusion
Where reality is harmful
And we all live in illusions

In a world where you
Must fight to survive
Where people are cunning and scheme
What's at stake are our lives

To show your true self
People are afraid
Because this is what
The world has made

In a world this complex
Where do i belong?
When my whole life fits
Around a sad love song

Living in such a world
Where beauty is what it means
But thats how the world
Has come to make it seem

In a world where no one's good enough
No one's pretty or smart enough
Where no one's thin or curvy enough
Where everyone's too weak or too tough

In this world of expectations
Only half can be fulfilled
Tearing up your dreams
Watching your hopes get killed

In a world this complex
Where do I belong?
When everything i do
Always turns out wrong .

I'm just a stupid failure
To everyone i know
I failed as a daughter and a sister
I don't know where to go

Cornered in my room
By these failures and lies
What more can I do?
But to sit there and cry

The days grow short
And nights i cannot sleep
Tears run down my face
As i lay there and weep

What use am i to this world?
I'm just a human being
I have my rights and wrongs
Though they are deceiving

It's like i said before
My life is like a sad love song..
In a world this complex
Tell me.. where do i belong?
