Lost

by Markesia Bailey

Heart racing feet pacing thoughts chasing

Where do I go? I don’t know

To the right there's nothing in sight

To the left there's a sign that says do not enter

Straight ahead there's a brick wall

My life Is at a stand still

Stiller than a person trying to balance a pitcher on their head

Why me?

Is my urge for success too much for society?

Are my estranged thoughts too much for the masses?

Where should I go?

My head isn't big enough for endless meetings

Tired of being alone but fight those who come around

Battling inner demons that are trying to set me afire

Where should I go?

Painting a picture with washable paint in the rain

Same day different hour

Time moves fast, slow, rain shower

Look at the river washing my pains away

There goes a sail

Oh wait

The sailor is depression

With a fish net saving all the stress I'm trying to drown away

Where should I go?

Up the tree like a monkey

Bees! On the ground running

Jaguar behind me

Oh wait, what's on the jaguar back

Depression

Ringmaster of trouble

Leave me alone

Afraid but more numb than your hand dipped in freezing water

I stop turn and face the devil

Punching the air shouting your name

My life will never be the same

Where did you go?

Where should I go?
