Lost My Way

Untitled Part 1

Lost My Way

Lost, but my path is clear,

maybe not in my head, but I keep walking.

Not knowing where I'm heading,

but I keep going.

A heavy feeling,

it's the dirty laundry I carry with me,

everywhere I go.

No one shall know, no one will care,

I keep my mouth shut,

I keep my head up,

I keep a smile on my face,

but it's all a facade.

My eyes well up, why am I crying?

I stumbled through the forest,

following the path called "life".

There's a lake in front of me,

I look at my "reflection",

but, it's not me.

I sat by the lake.

The sky darkened, the air chilled.

A heavy feeling surrounded me,

my body goes numb,

but I feel alive.

A voice called out to me,

it whispered gently into my ear,

I looked around,

but, no one is there.

It tells me to "come closer",

the voice is coming from the lake.

I slowly walked towards the edge.

and I look in,

but I don't see a reflection.

A scene plays before my eyes,

it is my childhood, my happier days.

I felt warm, I felt alive, I felt at home once again.

"Come, you will find your answer here, you will find your purpose here, you will feel alive here."

My body moves, all on it's own.

I didn't resist,

as cold wetness devoured me.

"You're home now"

I can't breathe..

but I didn't care..

"It is over my dear, welcome to the lake named 'death'"
