Lost

Just give me the strength and show me the way

To know that everything will be okay

I feel lost in the world without a purpose

Need to get back on track to no longer feel worthless

The days pass me by I see friends moving on

I sit in the house thinking how things would be if I was gone

Shadows creeping into my mind that were once locked away

My happiness fades as the sadness grows day by day

Only a sliver of hope only a speck of light

That makes this struggle worth the fight

Worried I’m not good enough or deserve the best

So much weight I carry on my shoulders and in my chest

My heart is heavy and my brain is being drained

Life if tough but this feeling I keep maintained

I drift away into music I tried religion

I still couldn’t find the right answers to my decision

How do I move on when I can’t find the first step

Back into my mind those dark ideas crept

As I hold on to that sliver of hope and light

I still stand ready for another day and a battle to fight
