Current Feelings

Most days I'm a crumbling mess
like an avalanche out of the blue
I can't help but fall apart
when I remember you
It only takes a second-
then my heart hardens
like asphalt on a cold day
I've endured enough heartache for the rest of my life
and that is the somber truth

There are times when words aren't enough
my mind races with a million thoughts at once
you used to hear my thoughts and guide me
prepare me for real life
and now I'm nearing 30,
life is creeping up,
and I've no guidance or that shoulder to lean on

This hollow feeling, will it ever subside?
I feel like I'm losing myself -
nowhere to confide
I'm swallowed up from life,
falling in a black hole

Nonsense! You just need to ask yourself, "What would X do?" You are likely to live at least another 50-odd years, so gain control of your life so you will enjoy it!
