Life is hard,

At times it is difficult,

Dare to believe,

Dare to be,

Sense of overwhelm that threatens me,

The wave of to-do lists that never end,

Dampened by the circumstances of yester’s worries,

Enlightened by today's list of queries,

A strangeness engulfs me,

The crazy thing is am not tired,

I think about it everyday,

That's why addiction isn't my taste,

All I need is in me,

All I can see is the light,

Life has an uncanny method,

To return us to default settings,

In the light of day I see myself,

I haven't slept or made any progress,

The drowsy wake-up,

That calls to me,

Life moves on swiftly,

The clouds gather and the rain starts,

t hadn't crossed my mind,

That one day I'd just up and leave,

I see my path laid out for me,

I read the trends and what needs doing,

A wild guess that made me think,

The dream that came and showed me things,

Fairyland of endless possibilities,

I wander around thinking of my wishes,

Ideas come and run amock,

I see different paths on what needs to be done,

Below the surface I remain unconscious,

Steady breaths that drown the noise,

The words that churn and mingle within,

I twist and turn but have to say it,

Days start and end the same,

In between a coloured glaze,

I need to take myself slowly,

I'm drowning in a sea of self-despair,
