Lost Poem by GeorgeherII Musiime

Lost

Rating: 4.5


And there I was again, lost…even to my self
In my bed I lay, with a roof over head yet
My thoughts always away, wondering with the blue star-lit dome of heaven
All dwindled by the gloom of earth for a roof
How did I ever wonder off so far away into the woods? ?
I still can’t figure out, O yet still, find my way back home
But feeling lost, even to myself.

Oh how I prayed for guidance and consulted with my faculties!
And how could they all lead me so far away from the truth
Did I pray to the wrong being Or
Did prayer stop working, but who knows the answers anyway? ?
Walking amid the gales of perplexity, my vision
Already blurry is even getting blurrier!

With difficulty, I still muddle through
My faith dying, and my Hope waning
What’s the essence, why stay fighting on only when
You are not winning a thing
I can’t justify bleeding out, and am getting close
Am giving up… heaven am sorry but
All is lost, and all that’s left has since lost meaning!

Depression and life at its lowest ebb well depicted in the poem. When faith and hope are lost, life becomes a meaningless existence. A well articulated piece of poetry, nicely penned with insight. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
