Lost

and right now there is no hope in finding what was once me. 

Being pulled in so many directions I just can’t keep up anymore.

They  want so much from me but, if I ask something it’s like I’m the one being ungrateful.

How much longer do I have to walk around feeling like a zombie 

moments of my day just slipping by me that I can’t keep track of the time that seems to be going by so much faster than I thought. 

I don’t know who or what is coming at me first and as I try to keep up 

I fall flat on my back and as I lie down, I don’t want to even think or want to get back up. 

Lost to what I love and lost to those that love me is there any hope at this point.
