I'm not lost I just haven't found

My place in this world,

I'm not tired, I've just no drive

To get out my words,

I'm not torn I'm just not

Completely in one piece,

I'm not trash I'm just not

As precious as I could be,

I'm not whole, I think we know that

I'm missing some parts,

I'm the Tinman, I've been left

Without a heart.

I'm not weeping, I'm just leaking,

Emotions seeping through,

I'm not sad I just

Can't quite smile at you.

I'm not bleeding I'm just

Bearing my soul,

I'm not pointless

I still have my goals.

I'm not not making sense

You just don't understand

If you knew what it's like to wear my shoes

You'd take my hand,

Yes I'm a chain that has a chink,

I'm hello without goodbye,

I'm a pail that has a leak

And I reserve my right to die,

I'm at peace while I'm at war

With the demons you can't see,

I'm yin and yang, a living breathing paradox,

That's what's become of me.
