The days drift by
One after another
I watch them go with a sigh  
Wondering if things will ever get better

I forget what I am doing
I wonder why I am here
The thoughts flood in without stopping
Everything seems so unclear

What is my purpose here?
What am I meant to do?
How can I do anything when I am encased by this fear
For which the cures are very few

I try and I try
To be a happy person
To smile as people pass by
I just wish my thoughts would have a reversion

For I was not always like this
I did not always feel weighed down by these convictions
I did not feel as though I was in a constant crisis
I did not always suffer from these horrendous afflictions

What could have changed?
What has made me become this way?
What started the flow of thoughts that are so deranged?
Most importantly, are they here to stay?

Try as I might
And try as I do
I can never seem to keep them out of my sight
Before new thoughts come flooding in too

Though they might leave for a short while
They always return
And I am stuck forcing on another fake smile
I never truly find the release for which I yearn
