Lost

 I am not always happy 
And I am seldom even fun
I'm not always sad
And you are the only one 

It seems I always worry 
About what the future will hold  
Feeling like I forgot something 
Too intangible to hold 

Can't put my finger on it 
It's as elusive as dust 
Feeling like I've been cheated 
Time passed by in a rush 

In the past I felt defeated 
Despite once youthful resolve 
So much unanswered
Time to harken the Call
