Is it just me?

I thought I could live on my own,
But these monsters from my past refuse to leave me alone.
They persistently demand their presence in my life,
Is it just me?

I feel like something has been lost, yet nothing is truly missing.
Is it just me?

Every time I desperately try to pick myself up,
And cling to that flicker of hope I once had,
It feels like grasping water in cupped hands,
Just when I think I have it, it slips away from me.

Am I truly a hopeless case,
Or is it just me?
