Fleeting Self

I'm great, I'm amazing,

It's a wonder to be me!

But at this very moment,

that greatness is behind lock and key.

Being held captive,

a prisoner of my own mind.

The stress and pain are what is great now,

I've got such little time.

 I try to overcome this,
I try to be strong,
but my strength is now fleeting,
there'll be nothing left by dawn.
