Almost There


When else Where else There must be something better Lonely when I’m alone Alone when I’m with them Happy when I’m with you Why can’t I be happy when I’m with You Inward focus with outward results Oh were it upward focus with inward results The more I try The less I succeed The less I try The less I succeed Do I sit and wait? Do I hope for the best With no guarantee? I know it’s simple Why is it so hard? I feel as though, If I open my eyes I should see, But what if What I see is no better All I want is to have The thing That will make me see It’s the thing I’ve been missing And unknowingly wanting All of this time
