I'm "here"

I'm here.
Floating somewhere in the back.
But my mind is somewhere else.

My mind is in overdrive.
It is tired and running out of time.
I'm not sure how much more it can take.

My mind never fails to take me to a different place.
It takes me somewhere where love and happiness exists.
It takes me somewhere where I'm enough.
It takes me somewhere where I'm ok.

I dream of a different place.
Where I'm pretty.
Where I'm smart.
Where I'm kind.
Where I'm talented.
Where I'm wanted.
Where I'm loved.

You see me.
I'm here.
But I only exist in the shadows.

But my mind is in overdrive.
My mind is getting tired, and it will soon shut off.
There's only so much a human can take.

Soon it will all be over.
I'll be able to close my eyes and wake up in a different place.
I will get to dream for an eternity.

You see I'm here.
But my mind is elsewhere.
I'm only here physically,
and it's not by choice.
But soon my body will catch up with my mind.
And that is the day I will actually exist.
That is the day you and I can both say that I'm here.
