Long Sighted

What an oddity
Doing fine
But my mind is being pulled
So many directions

Trying hard to grasp
Focusing
Where I am going

It just keep on running
Hearing you talking
Goes on and off
Feeling my soul floats
Then comes back

Paying attention
Being in the moment
Yet being in halves
Uncooperative

Wondering
What is happening

Hoping
Not to loose myself
Amongst the chaos

Telling myself
I am still here
I am ok

Let these recurrent thoughts
Set the records straight
Free myself from shortcomings
Forgive myself

Because I am tired
Trying
Fulfilling
Which in return
For nothing

Wanting when
Opening my eyes
Jumping out of bed
Spring of excitement

Getting things going
Engrossed
Being amused when learning

Knowing I can do so little
Hoping so hard
It will shine through

Hope it is enough
To wake me up
Looking back 
Grinning 

That I have done what I can
Shaking my head 
In tears

Cannot... 
Give...
Up...
