Confusion is my language,
Fluently it flows off my tongue.
Reaching to grasp reality,
falling short with no understanding.

Slamming doors, closed windows,
awakening me to the truth.
Youth a distant memory,
the future quickly becoming today.

Striving for success,
with each and every breath.
Alive, but struggling,
hoping, yet giving up.

Trying to be everything to everyone,
wishing for the one.
Dangerously questioning fate,
patience is for those who have the ability to wait.

What may appear lucky to some,
can leave behind misery.
Everything means nothing without happiness,
impossible to find what you don’t know you need.

Perfection constantly knocking,
a reminder of what you need to be.
Constantly working for something,
But it’s never enough.

I’m being brought to my knees,
because of the desire to succeed.
Invisible force pushing me towards the end,
my mind is unable to comprehend what I really need.

I’m fading fast,
thinking about all the qualities I lack.
Wondering why no one is here to listen or understand,
blaming myself as I fall asleep alone.

The hollow emptiness, the crazed thoughts left to survive
