Hesitation

 

 

I find myself floundering
Unaware of my state
Feeling like I’m out of hope
I can’t believe how fast the time has passed
And how easily my mind has lapsed

I thought I had all the time in the world
To steady my feet and try my best
To reach the goals that I had set
Right now I feel I've wasted so much time

Will I ever reach my potential?
Will I ever give it my all?
God how I wish those magic pills 
Could heal my battered soul
So I may meet the dawn without the tears

Each and everyday I put a smile on my face
Though I wonder what the point is
Or if it’s ever truly me that people see

So many of my hopes have faded over time, wasted
The dreams I had back then seem so outdated
Losing ground while I’m out floundering
In the dark pool of hesitation.
