fleeting

if life is all we have, how is it so empty?
how do i preserve ever fleeting memories?
trying to hold on to anything in a world constantly drifting away
i would do anything to make things stay
my life moved on without me, i’m barely living
because inside is numb and outside is unforgiving
i feel drowsy all the time it seems
the only time i feel awake is in my dreams
i need someone to come here and save me
from me wallowing in my own misery
i never learned how to care for myself, only others
i realize now i’m becoming my mother
