Lost Poem by Alan Kabanshi

Looking through a window within myself
All there is are reflections of my fears
And with silence my heart dies
In a solemn song that a beat cries
A void of doubt has taken over
The spirit eager but strength wears
Am bruised and hope just drowns in my tears
Dawn come, that the sun dries my fears
or light shine to chase my ghosts

How could it be, that I missed my way,
Loose myself and forget what’s day?
Am so cold and empty inside
My life blinded within visible darkness
When I feel myself am lost in queer emptiness
When I listen I hear a menacing silence
A life so crowded but no one to help, they look and many stare
How can I stand with nowhere to lean?
Oh angel rays guide me through
Maybe when I cry I might hear myself calling
Break free to watch my worries falling
For now all I have is myself pit
