What Am I Missing? Poem by Emma Alberts

I'm lost in my own fate
Where do I go from here?
I'm loosing all I used to know
My future doesn't seem so clear
From here...

I'm sinking to the bottom of
This stormy sea called living
Gotta swim back to the top
All of me is what i'm giving
And it keeps me living...

I travel the whole wide world
To find what I'm looking for
I got no one to hold me
I need someone to open this door

Wake up late last night
Think about what I'm doing
Am I doing it all right?
Who knows what God is stewing?
What is He doing...?

I'm not hugging
No more kissing
I need someone to tell me...
What am I missing?
