A Soaring Sensation Not Yet Felt

I'm feeling overwhelmed to say the least 
Why do I feast upon my fears before the Feast?
I'm feeling out of place, yet free in space
I'm feeling lazy and insecure; far from grace

I haven't forgotten the feeling of discouragement
Neither did I forget to remember encouragement
A Soaring, sweet sensation not yet felt
Is holding on to me like a reliable belt

But, I'm sorry for the way I feel if it hurts you
Disgraceful to the touch is the burns of rue
If only you knew what kind of a mess I've been 
Then again, understanding me is another seven times seven

Maybe I should be happy, mother 
Maybe I shouldn't feel crappy, father 
I just want to deal with these issues on my own
I just want to be left alone, yet call you both on my phone…

I'm being annoying as usual…
I'm being selfish and it isn't cool…
I need another outlet to get me through this regret
Lord, I need Your love to guide me, so I won't get upset 

2019 has been a long and strenuous year for me
I have been struggling to avoid my reality...my fatality…
Overcast skies won't weigh down my wholehearted smile
I would walk a million miles just to be with you for a little while 

Agonizing pain reigns upon me today
Weeping is woven on my mouth I must say
You dug up a hole of hatred for me to fall in
I've fallen into the strange in-between once again

Mother, come back home
Father, where do I roam?
Please hold on to my arms and be free
I didn't do any harm physically, but emotionally, I messed up vainly

It's okay to be alone
Out there on my own
Out there on my own
Into the strange in-between
Wondering where you been
Wandering how you've been
Again...once again, left in the dust of my own words
Once more, left airborne with the brazen birds and I soar…

No longer feeling overwhelmed to say the least
This year is going to be a rather fantastic Feast
