Lost: A Poem

Today was an exceptionally bad day....  Let's just say that it led to a rough poem of expressing some of my thoughts.  Just thought that I would share with you.  I know the flow is a bit rough, I haven't had much time to read through it, just sharing it in it's initial hurried pen to paper to get things out format.  Enjoy.

Lost

I feel so lost

Surrounded by chaos

As if adrift on the seas

Wave after wave of unplanned emergencies

Why can I not see the light

Is there no end in sight

No matter how hard I try

End up broken down and cry

Alone here I sit

Some days wanting to quit

Mental breakdown seems nigh

To a deserted place, I yearn to fly

Wanting to follow my dreams

Instead I stifle frustrated screams

Worse it can always be

Yet I still fight desperately

Can I never get ahead

Just want to hide in my bed

Is there no break to be caught

Has it all been for naught

I take it one step at a time

Awaiting my turn for sublime

Still here it is day after day

Sunny skies still turn grey

Most days are not sad

Yet some end up so bad

The battles I fight

Leave me alone in the night

Just when I can’t fight any longer

Somehow I come out stronger

One step at a time

Now entering my prime

Yet what is the cost

When I come to you lost
