Losing myself

I don't know who this person is,
And this person is me,
Fancy frocks and fancy meals,
Is this how normal feels?
How did I get here,
Why am I staying,
What the fuck,
Is all I keep saying.
My crazy life 
happy times
Fun and laughter 
Feel far behind 
I'm in a world 
Where I don't belong
I am not giving up,
I'm not giving in,
I just want to be me,
Wear dungarees,
Dance in the waves,
Play with flames,
Wag my mermaid tail,
Feel my spirit,
Burn brighter than bright,
Turn from darkness,
Back into light,
I feel heavy,
I feel sick inside 
I want to run,
I want to hide,
How did I get here,
How do I flee,
I just want to bring happy,
I just want to be me.
Feel the laughter 
Fill life with fun 
Get back in my bubble
Follow the sun
Paddle and climb 
To my hearts content,
Get mucky fingernails 
Sleep in a tent
Dance round a fire,
Stare at the stars,
Walk in fresh air,
For hours and hours.
When did I lose me,
When did I stop,
Doing things I love,
Watching the clock,
Feeling exhausted 
All the time,
Being compliant,
Towing the line.
There has to be balance,
The scales are off whack
I want those old feelings back
I'm losing my sparkle,
I'm dulling my flame,
My life just doesn't,
Feel the same,
How did I get here
How do I get back
To the laughter and light
To the fire and flight
