Drift

There's something deep inside me
That wants to find a home
To feel that I've succeeded
And that I'm not alone

Although I am surrounded by
Friends, family (all the best)
There's loneliness inside me
In the ache inside my chest

I love the people in my life
That isn't a concern
But I still feel that things aren't right
And lately I feel worn

It isn't just depression
Though I struggle with that too
It seems I'm learning lessons,
Which are troubling, but true

It's easier to look back
On the troubles of the past
When the present has the answers
But it seems too late to ask

When the failures of inaction
Haunt us longer than mistakes
And the curse of indecision
Keeps us restless and awake

Through attempts to hide my flaws, I've seen
It's better if they're shown
This knowledge that we're human
Sinks down deep inside my bones

Time mocks me for my choices
We are limited, you see
We have desires to do it all
But it can never be
