Lost In a Daze

I am a non smoking individual 
Yet it always seems like 
I'm trapped in the smoking section 
whenever I try to dream big
I get slam down and surrounded 
by fog before I can even reach
A positive destination
Maybe this is god's way of 
telling me that I have to fight
Bad thoughts fill my head 
Almost every night
and it's seem like I'll never
see the light through the smoke
These obstacles hurt my heart 
I feel like the negative energy 
will never cease 
In this smoken daze 
I can barely get to my feet
their is no map
Nobody I can ask for help
Because everyone seems
perfectly content with this toxic
All I've ever wanted was to emerge
So though the clouds are thick
and my eyes keep watering
I purge through this hell
 because I know I deserve better
