Confused
I'm confused
I don't know who I'm am
I'll never know
I need help.... Fast
My friends, are they even friends?
My family, it doesnt sound right do I have a normal family?
I'm confused I'll always be
No one will show me the path
I have no one
I need help... Faster
This is not me
I don't know me
Who is this person I call me
Am I really one of those special people Hashem chose to be in his nation?
Do I deserve to be in his nation?
Do I deserve anything?
I'll never know
I need to know
Help me know!
I'll never know me

just because a person learns Torah, it dusnt make a differentiation between the many ME's within him, and if they're all from the yetzer hara trying to tell them they hav 2 act and be a certain way, then y do they feel completely 'me' in every situation, even tho they're diff 'me''s? and then sumtimes all 'me''s feel foreign, y dnt they create a new 'me' for that situation?what if each of their 'me''s learns torah.....idk y....just dusnt click w me....

Not yet. It can take time. Nobody expects that if you open a Chumash and read suddenly, magically, your confusion will disappear. The way this works is, when a person finds his own derech, and his G-d-mandated path in life, the different "me"s go away. I'm not contesting your current confusion. I am just saying never say "never." There is light at the end of the tunnel. This does not mean that today your confusion is any less frustrating. it isn't. And it also does not mean it is your fault for not learning enough, or anything like that. We all have to find ourselves in this world, and sometimes that takes a long time. Being lost until that time comes is no fun. That's what your poem is about. But the way out of the forest is by following the way to Hashem.

Not everybody ends up ever finding their way. There are adults who are confused too. Worse than teenagers. That is sad. Not everyone finds their way out of the forest. But many do. I am just explaining which way leads out. You need siyata d'shmaya to get there, true, but this is the direction that leads away from the confusion.
