Lost and Confused

My mind racing…
swift thoughts constantly chasing…
every single millisecond.
a new one appears.
forced to be in places i don’t want to be
people, places, things that aren’t good for me, 
oh how I wish they would all just flee.

everywhere I go
I feel surrounded by negative energy.
sad faces.
scattered minds.
broken hearts.
damaged souls.
our world is hurting.
So little positivity around 
with not much left to share,
there is negativity all in the air.

In a world full of darkness,
I know I am the light.
I am the helper.
I am the shoulder to cry on.
as I move on from this day,
longing for something new
something better
I will keep faith in my heart.

my hands tremble at the silent effect of fear
am I running out of time?
i see a faint light at the end of the tunnel 
but how long will it stay there?
will it last
forever?

regardless of my struggles 
my pain
my stress
my scars
I know that someday I will be okay
In the end 
It will all be worth it.
