Lost Poem by kayla martinez

Emptiness, sadness,
Swept across my face.
If only they would know.
Know how I feel right now.
What's the word I'm looking for?
LOST!
Like nothing seems to be right.
Unfamiliar surroundings.
The counselor, he told me:
I'm lost. Forgotten, too.
I need to find a way back.
Back to where my life was.
An innocent child.
Then I 'turned' gay.
Now my world, flipped.
My life, AWOL.
I know only one way,
And that's trough poem,
To express my feelings.
Words, thoughts, writings.
They're all powerful,
But when you are lost,
Like me,
Then you can't seem to do it.
Find the words.
I need to be found.
