Am I going off the rails?
Something doesn’t feel right
These days
I worry about everything
Nothing in life gives me meaning
I bring up issues in my mind
That are minute and irrelevant
And then I argue with those issues
Like another person is in my shoes
Life has become a battle for me
I don’t know how to set it free
I speak about my troubles with few friends
But they don’t even seem to comprehend
Because they have lives of their own
Their personal worries and different hopes
They simplify my issue to nothing
Without realizing that it’s a big thing
So am I going off the rails?
Nothing seems to satisfy me these days…
