Lacking In Life
by SouthernRaven

Lack of self-confidence
Lack of desire
Never feeling the need
To reach any higher

Lack of coping
With the pain in my past
Doing my best
But coming up last

Lack of motivation
Negative thoughts will consume
My mind never stops turning
Always expecting more gloom

Lack of understanding
Of why I feel this way
It takes all my strength
Just to get through the day

Lack of inspiration
Having nothing to share
Lack of creativity
While my canvas sits bare

Lack of true comfort
When I am in a crowd
Lack of a voice
When I want to laugh out loud

Lack of true beauty
From the image I behold
A very plain person
Nothing special I've been told

Lack of positive thought
Lack of clear sight
Seeing everything on one level
Seeing only black and white

Lack of people around me
I'm too hard to handle
Lack of compassion
For this weakly burning candle

Lack of true faith
For the feelings in my mind
The ghosts of the past are present
To the truth, I am blind

Lack of control
When it comes to the love I live
Never recieving the needed balance
That forever gives
