The Unknown

Today I'm not sure who I am anymore
Who I was anymore
What I want anymore
Today I lost sight of my path once again
Felt alone once again
Did the same things once again

So if someone's out there listening
Please tell me who to be
Do I still want to be me?
Or shall I listen to what everybody wants?
Should I just forget who I was?
Give up on being what I want?
I'll lose it all at what cost?
Someone tell me, what exactly is the point?

Today I lost sight of reality
Lost sight of whose the real me
Forgot who I wanted to be
Today I must have jumped and never hit the ground
I am still falling down
Will I just float or finally drown?
Maybe someday I'll know why I never knew what I found
Or stopped and looked around
Picked myself up and put my feet back on some solid ground

This is not the first time I ever panicked at life
That I ever felt strife
That of my future I lost sight
No, this isn't the last time I'll ever want to run away
And wonder what's so different today?
Maybe I need to reevaluate my ways?

As for you, it's not that I'm not happy
It's not that you aren't all that I need
I wouldn't want to see you walk away
It's not that I'm angry
I'm just worried
That I'm losing what I love most in life today

There was one day when I had dreams and
Inspiration
Now it's desperation
It's not as fulfilling as I make it seem
I can tell you right way that I can't stay here
Not too much much longer, dear
And it's the darkness of the unknown that I fear

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Have you ever woken from a dream and realised that maybe you made the wrong decisions in life to get to the place you're at now? I had that rushing thought this morning. Dreams will make you think about things you never really thought about before. The question is... What does it mean? Do I even have a choice to go back and change things? I think not.

I understand you

I understand you completely.
You're not alone.
