Where Am I?

Where am I in life?
Where might I stay?
alone in this darkness i'm scared 
I won't find my way.

No one to talk to, no one can hear
the pain on my face is just but a smear.
I feel alone, like no one understands
the stress i'm going through is trickling in the sand.

All I want is someone to tell me it will be ok
not the voice i'm hearing right here as i lay.
My motivation is slowing, my strive is right behind
someone tell me I am in my right mind. 

I long for these days to be over in a flash
when failing a test was just a small crash.
I feel lonely in my room as I think tonight,
I wish I could tell myself that everything will be all right.

I know this feeling and it can be all consuming and paralyzing. Not gonna tell you it will be okay either. You are in charge of your happiness you have to make it okay for you. It's not easy to do when you're in the middle of it but starting with little things that make you happy will turn into big things that will make you happy. You brought a tear to my eye. Monica

I think everyone who reads this poem will tell you that everything will be all right, but I won't. I will tell you that you need to get up and make things right yourself. We can't change our past and we can't predict our future, but we can make our future the way we want it if we accept the challenges and struggles. If you are persistent in your efforts, you can achieve a dream come true.
