Life Goes On

I am lost again, welcome to my life.
Wandering, searching, confused.
Where am I?
Where have I been?
What have I done?
The world blends together
In one large mess
My world becomes a murky brown
All the vibrant colors gone

I remember the past
With great sadness
I struggled to find my place
In a world I couldn’t understand

We wandered from here to there
With no permanence
Leaving no footprints in the sand
How can I remember my past
When I can’t understand my present

Never truly fitting in
Trying to find the balance
Between being accepted
And over the top

Getting lost in time
Amongst the emotions
And the wild colors
Spending hours lost inside
My imagination taking control
Lost far from reality

Crossing the border into adulthood
New responsibilities and pressures
Acknowledging the terror
Trying to keep from being alone

Finding myself as I revisit my past
Discovering who I am
