Life Numb

I haven't been myself lately 
Numbing myself of pain maybe 
I'm young and it's still  early 
But the world's not as young sadly 
It's cold and like a maze  
Warm and like the rain 
It comforts and it ruins 
Sometimes stays or slowly fates 
Like memories of a melody 
Delights but it ends 
You hold on you lose 
You snooze you lose 
There's no right doing or wrong 
But a journey to be strong 
It's an ongoing battle  
With a quest to settle 
And it gives no medals  
You just continue to paddle 
With the hopes to win  
Even when it gets dim
