Beautiful Lies and Silent Truths

Lost

Lost

We're told to be happy

Told to be free

Told to be individuals

But in this reality

We are lost

We don't know where we are going

And yet the so called adults who are there to guide us seem to be lost themselves

We never know where we are going

Where we are headed

Where we even are

Everything keeps changing just as time keeps passing by

Just as we keep getting older

We just keep running out of time

We always say tomorrow

But then tomorrow becomes yesterday

Then last week

Then last year

Then it just never comes

And that one opportunity you denied becomes a regret that sticks with you forever

And you're still lost

We're still lost

They say our life is planned out for us

But yet we're just walking in circles

And then when you get tired everyone else just leaves you behind

And you realise that you can't even catch up anymore

You feel so weak

So fragile

I fall asleep dreaming a dream that can never become my reality

So I just keep sleeping

And sleeping

And sleeping

Dreaming

Waiting

And waiting for time to pass by

Then noticing

Realising

That I just can't live like this anymore

Or more like I can't live anymore

Then completely waking up to a reality of how I wasn't even living

Because it's so hard to stay alive when you're already dead inside

You see, I'm still lost

And I don't think I'll ever be found

But maybe you're lost too

So, good luck.
