Inside

Empty inside,
unable to fill the space. 
It's gone, somewhere else,
lost without a trace. 
I want to know what I'm missing, 
everything is going right. 
Why do I feel this way, 
why am I seeing darkness, and no light. 
Things are coming together, 
everything I want is here. 
What is holding me back, 
what is it I fear. 
Time keeps moving forward, 
like it always does. 
I'm just feeling so lost, 
I'm not feeling any buzz. 
I wish I knew what I wanted, 
a way to sort it out. 
I wish I knew what was missing, 
what is life really about. 
Shadows in my past, 
make me want to see clear. 
I can't help what happened yesterday,
I have to persevere. 
Time is going forward, 
the pace is so fast. 
I need to hold it together, 
how long can I last. 
The feeling within me, 
it's something unknown. 
I've got a chance at a great life, 
I don't want to be alone.
