Lost In My Thoughts

Lost in my thoughts

Lost in the day

Wishing that things

Were truly okay

Fighting so hard

To make it make sense

Wishing I felt more

Than just reverence

Feeling so deeply

With no one to share it

Emotions so strong

I wish I could bare it

You tell me you care

But then turn your back

You fill me with words

But sentiment you lack

So I go through the motions

While I’m hardly dealing

Overwhelmed with sensations

That I’m scarcely feeling

Trapped in a corner

Trying to guard my own back

Wondering who will be 

First to attack

It’s like being in a funhouse

With all of those mirrors

Running into yourself

Having to face your own fears

Realizing you’ve got this

And all on your own

Don’t need an assist

You can do it alone

Now things make sense

You’re no longer so frightened

Lift your face to the sun

Embrace all that is brightened

You can now brave the world

Just look at your smile

You’ve slayed every battle

And won every trial

The ending is here

There is no longer rife

It’s time to accept

That you’ve mastered your life
