Lost Among The Hopeless

I keep slipping, deeper
slipping into the dark
No hand to hold to pull
me through this.

Nothing to go to,
to save me from myself
Every ounce of strength
I've had left has now disappeared
like my shattered soul
among the hopeless.

I can't control these,
these moments of lostness
where my mind totals over
like a surfer caught in a wave
and lost at sea.

I am lost,
lost among the hopeless
Among the many people thriving
to keep me balanced
to keep me stable.
But how far will that go?
how long will it last?
Before they give up too?
