I am grappling with feelings of depression and anxiety, which are exacerbated by a sense of not belonging.

These emotions reverberate in my mind, making it difficult to shake off the notion that I am stuck.
Despite my efforts to present a facade of being okay, the pain persists, and I am left feeling lost and uncertain.

My search for inner peace and self-discovery continues, as I strive to reconnect with my soul.
Life's challenges have taken a toll on me, leaving me feeling like a resilient hound that has endured countless setbacks.

In moments of desperation, I seek solace in my faith, pleading for guidance and support.

As I navigate the complexities of life, I am overwhelmed by a sense of regret and self-doubt.
I long to pause and reassess my journey, to revisit a simpler time when life's burdens were fewer.

However, I recognize that such nostalgia is a fleeting respite, and that true healing requires confronting my struggles head-on depressed and anxious, and struggling to fit in.

Iʼm stuck with these notions, which resound in my mind.
I wake up professing to be OK, but Iʼm still hurting within, and the pain persists.

I will continue to hunt for my soul until I find it.
Life strikes you and sends you to the dog pound.
Iʼll be like a hound that has suffered more losses than I can count.

Lord, help my soul; Iʼm drowning.
Iʼve gone so far in life, and I fear I just dropped the ball; I wish I could take a break and just stall.
I want to go back to when my life was simpler, when I didnʼt have any pimples.
