Overwhelmed

I couldn’t feel less like myself

This pen feels heavy in my hand

The words just will not write themselves

And I can’t make you understand

I’m not ungrateful….Just insane

And I can’t make sense of these tears

I’m overwhelmed and over tired

And giving in to secret fears

I searched a lifetime, chased a wish

But never thought it would come true

Yet here it is, and I’m amazed

But kind of lost on what to do

Too many downdrafts on my wings

When all I want to do is soar

Now that I have all that I dreamed

How could I ever ask for more?

I want to unpack all this baggage

And walk away in just my skin

To just enjoy these fleeting moments

I never thought I would be in
