A poem about being lost

Lost,

What does it mean?

Is it a physical place, a place where we all go when you can’t find hope?

Lost, a little dream-scape for humanity to dive in.

Lost, a forgotten tome of fear and trapped dysphoria.

I’m lost. So are you. You can’t speak or scream or even understand what it means

But you know how it feels, it weighs

Down with an unknown property you can’t name.

You know you have a voice,

But it’s lost(but you seem to know what it sounds like)

Lost, you can get lost, and then you’ll be found.

You lost your identity

You lost your dreams

You lost your heart

You just…lost.(get over it, everyone loses something sometimes)

We’re all a bit lost, aren’t we?

But we just pretend we are found.

We just wanted to be found.

And I found you,

And now we’re lost again,

(In

Each

Other’s

Eyes)

A whole universe of lost

And found.
