What Happened To My Future

This can not be why I'm here
My future used to look so clear
With high hopes of happiness
Somehow these high hopes are less
Than I planned so long ago
Where did my bright future go
There is no more clarity
Fogginess is all I see
Trying hard to get it straight
All I ever do is wait
For a sign to come along
Right will take away the wrong
I'm this hill I'm now struggling
To climb over but it's tugging
Me back down with every step
Its difficult to find the pep
Inside myself, its slowly fading
Clouds are full and darkly shading
Any light I seem to find
I'm about to lose my mind
If this path I have to walk
Keeps stabbing me like a fork
Leaving little holes in me
Pouring out the misery
Playing like a sad sad tune
Praying happy music soon
Will engulf me with protection
And dance me in a new direction

Hi Robin. It is awful hard to see sometimes why we must go through things in our life. I'm sorry that your are struggling and appear to feel lost at this time. Our life is full of lessons and God will hear us if we ask for his direction. Bless you my friend.... Robert.

You painted a bleak picture, and I know this is not really you! I envision you as a very happy person. Am I right? Anyway, great poem, sweetie.
