Wishing

I spend a lot of time wishing that 
Some things in my life could be different. 
I think there must be something more, 
But I'm not sure that is what I meant. 

I look everywhere for the greener grass, 
That was on the other side of the fence. 
I wish desperately for clarity of thought, 
But it's hard to see through fog so dense. 

My mind is always so cluttered, 
And I am not always able to think clearly, 
To end my confusion and clear away the fog, 
Is a dream that I hold in my heart dearly. 

I'm lost in a maze that never seems to end, 
And I'm still not sure how I got in. 
How am I supposed to know where I'm going, 
When still I'm not sure where I have been.
