I keep looking at myself
And it’s so hard to see who I am
Who will I be?
All I know is that I don't know me
Nobody knows me
Let alone me
What have I become to be?

My future dreams are shrouded in mystery
They come and go
Day by day, they run and blow
I am afraid of the days ahead of me
I don't see any future for me
I have been searching around
For the image that best fits me
Alas, nothing it seems
I'm a chameleon
Living in a dream with transient dreams

I've dreamt too much, yet lost too much
I know I am awake, but my mind is at stake
My focus is fading
Chaotically beyond my reach

My mind seems lost
And my body feels without a surface
Floating around in distant space
As I float
Waiting hopelessly for nothing
Colorless and empty without a face
There's nothing worst than feeling lost in life on so many levels. It's always important to remember that it takes time to discover our true selves and that there's no shame in feeling lost from time to time.
