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?
