Stuck

Does life ever seem to be flashing in front of your eyes
Do you reach out your arms to stop it but it flows right through you
Have you ever watched helplessly as everyone  around you moved one step closer to their dreams
While you watched a deep longing in your eyes, an ever present sadness in your spirit
Chased by demons from the past that you could never outrun
Have you ever been stuck?
Transparent to the world almost like an illusion
Have you ever felt like a figment of someone else's imagination?
Like the main character of a comic book, in a world of make belief you thought of as yours
Do you know what it means to be lost?
To have no clue on where you're going and frightened of where you're coming from
While life throws at you everything in it's arsenal, all at once driving you to the brink
And as you skirt the edges of insanity, what pulls you back
What makes you think?
What brings you peace and soothes your soul
Is it faith or will or fear of the unknown
If you could would you tell me what I need to know?
