More Me Than I

Crushing my beating heart,
Gripping my singing throat,
Silence comes as chaos waits in my mind.
Lost in direction,
Needing to move,
Confusion on what to do.
I see nothing ahead and
Everything passed-up behind.
The past has a hurtful grip,
While the future teeters on oblivion,
As the present barely balances to stability.
Doubt, Confusion, Regret;
All seem to become more me than I am.
