Step Two

There's a thought in my head that goes round and round
I can feel it behind my eyes as it makes a buzzing sound
It evades my grasp as I seek for clarity
How do I get hold of it and see what it wants of me
It's not a random thought, it's been building for a while
It could be a momentous thought, the kind that makes me run a mile
I'm not sure if I want to take that on at the moment
How about I forget it and give it a shunt
Push it far away and just get through the now
But what if it's a solution
Could it tell me how
I can feel the past slipping away as new habits take hold
I don't want this to be my life until I grow old
This is a time of transition
Getting from here to there
The past bears heavy
I can't come up for air
Flashes of light zip past me, out of sync with what I see
And I'm feeling ill as this thought is making me dizzy
If I lose myself now I lose it all
If I can find a way to keep it going, I won't fall
Take me by the hand and lead me out
I want to see clearly and have no doubt
Isolation does me no good
As thought becomes confused between could and should
I know what I could be and I know what I should be
I know that all I really want is to be me
Throughout my life I've searched for my niche
Instead I find myself letting someone else hold the leash
Taking me down paths I don't want to tread
Still walking them as the alternative fills me with dread
Where is the strength that can build me up so tall
Who will help me up when I inevitably fall
Why is this happening to me right now
When will I find the answer
And how
