I am lost,

Only glancing at the cover

Because they never cared to read the pages,

The book that was there,

It wasn’t what they wanted.


I am lost,

I could never find my place here,

Because this place doesn’t see me,

It only makes me feel separated,

It feels so condensed and yet so spacious.


I am lost,

While they know mine,

I don’t know theirs

That long walk on a nameless road,

They keep shouting my name.


I am lost,

I wear my mask well,

I come in everyday with a smile,

Hiding the agony that was

Walking through that door.


I Am Lost

 

 

Now read it backwards

This was a time when I had moved across the country away from all of my friends. I felt very disconnected and not knowing where I belong. I would just count the days until it was over.
