I'M Lost Inside Myself

I found myself lost in the dark abyss.
Upon finding myself, I've come up with this: 
"Am I going to be missed 
Or am I going to be ignored just like every morning's mist?" 

I don't know, I'm not sure when or how 
But does losing myself going to help me somehow? 
Will it make me realize my dreams 
Or just make me give up and let my life be carried away with the water that roll down the streams?  

I've got no direction, I feel so lost. 
I've built up walls that no one can ever cross. 
It was I who made it that's why right now I'm frustrated 
Holy cow! I made a barrier that gets the whole situation more complicated  

I think I belong to the fallen ones 
People who had a dream once 
But fell and got locked away  
To a perfect slumber where they can't not stay.  

I screamed and screamed  
But still no one seemed 
to notice the things  
That for so long, I am burdened with.  

As my tears fell down like droplets of a morning dew, 
I think to myself, "Can I really start anew?" 
I cannot wait for the day to say, 
"Hannah! I've finally found you!"

A very sad write Hannah. So many feel this very same way...I'm sure that's the reason there are so many poets. We write to somehow free ourselves from the pain. Well done.
