Mixed

I feel mixed up,
I am happy yet I'm sad,
How can it be both?

Feeling lost,
Without a sense of direction,
I seem to have lost my growth.

Searching and searching,
Exactly what I shouldn't be doing,
Wishing I could turn off my brain.

Telling myself,
You'll get there when you get there,
But that doesn't ease my strain.

I feel mixed up,
Searching for my light,
Wandering aimlessly,
No end yet in sight.
