Lost but never gives up

Sweet little girl wanders the streets alone, pacing up and down the same street never leaving pass the same block. She can't seem to figure out who she is looking for as she starts to panic. Her head spinning with confusion, as the tears start to stream down her eyes. She shouts for someone, but no one seems to respond. As she looks to the left and right of her she sees the streets get darker and darker, until that one light post she stands under is only on her. Her anxiety begins to kick in even more, " What is happening " ?! she screams, but still no one is able to hear her. " Can anyone hear me "?! she yells, but still no response. She tries to walk out of the lonely street, but it seems she just keeps going in circles back to the same spot. Until finally she gives up, and sits under the light post with her head crouched into her legs. It's like a never ending path that she always finds herself back here time and time again. She tends to wander off to the last place she remembers that her life was simple and happy, but every now and then she seems to get lost. She hears a voice in the distance, " Sweetie are you alright "? As she slowly picks her head up to see who it is talking to her, but there is no one there. " Hello can you hear me" ? It's that voice again, but she doesn't seem to see anyone. " Yes I hear you "! As she circles around hoping to see who is shouting out to her, she closes her eyes and counts to 3. One, two, three, as she opens her eyes she fades back into her reality of sitting at the dinner table with her family. " Sweetie are you okay " ? her mother asks her. " Yes mom I am fine, sorry I guess I spaced out". You see she was never lost, she tends to get inside her head all on her own and make herself feel that way. It's a coping technique she uses when she feels stressed, she'll remember her happiest memory, but when she can't focus on just that one memory she gets lost in her head, and creates all these unnecessary emotions to make her feel lost. It's always mental, as you always battle with yourself mentally each and everyday, just try not to get lost and lose that battle with yourself.
