Lost

Walking around looking for answers, looking into empty hallways that used to be filled with the bright light at the end. That bright light that used to bring you hope and a sense of accomplishment with every turn of the door knob. The visions of the dark empty hallway cloud your mind like a thick fog on a humid morning. Trying to find your way, looking for the light but you don't see it. Waiting to hear that horn blaring the sound of welcome like a lost ship waiting to see the lighthouse as a sign of warning. You ask yourself, why have all of the lights gone dim, why has every door to every answer you have been looking for been shut. You hear the door slam behind you, you turn around wondering what is going on.

You have been lost in that world of unknown answers that used to be filled with guidance and virtue. The lights go out and your trapped, stuck in your own mind with nothing. You have no answers to the questions that you seek. You have no reality and grasp on life anymore. You slowly sit down and bring your knees to your chest and start to huddle against the wall. Trying to adjust your eyes to the darkness becomes an inevitable task because its empty, you have been left with nothing.

The answers that once stood out have dissipated into nothing. You scream, what for? No one is going to hear you. Your mouth opens but, nothing comes out. You have become deaf to your own words, your own guidance. A thick cloud has fallen on deaf ears and a mouth unable to speak.

Its times like this in life where you become a prisoner of your own mind. Just because you seek answers to problems in life, does not always mean you will find them. Keep this in your mind the next time you feel you owe it to yourself to find an answer.
