Done

I am lost
Lost in my thoughts 
Of me, of family, of the past, and of the future
Where am I? who am i?
What have I done? where am I going?
I am stuck.
Stuck in this perception of what everyone 
Else thinks my life should be about.
You need to do this. I need to do that
Well why cant you do this? I already do that.
I am hurt.
Hurt by people who are supposed to
Be there for you through thick and thin.
I cant help you anymore.
fix it yourself. Deal with it.
I am done
Done trying to please anyone
But myself.
I can do this.
I will do this
Alone
