STRAYED

There's so much i've lost 

lost on my way

i forgot where i was going

hence i lost my way

by losing my way 

i've lost so much 

things which i can't ever get back 

this grassy path 

once upon a time 

was all i ever dreamed about.

to walk on it.

to find my own way.

to find my life.

to begin anew.

i remember the joy

excitement overflowed in me.

i was going to do 

what i'd been dreaming of.

to find out what was 

at the  end.

at the end of that path.

but before i could even reach the halfway mark

i lost my way

i strayed 

strayed away from the path.

and into the forest.

tall trees surround me.

so many obstacles.

no way out

just me alone

when did i lose my way way?

was it when i got caught?

caught by the forest's allure?

was it when i was enthralled by the unknown.

i was so focused on the end.

that i couldn't remember my way.

now neither can i move forward.

nor can i retrace my steps.

because there is no path.

no footprints.

no clue .

no sign

to follow

i'm stuck 

in the middle of the forest.

A captive.

A captive of a dream and desire too big.
