Lost

I’m lost in a world, dying with no cure
Missing those days when I was innocent and pure
I only live once, I’m always quick to realize
But I can’t even smile; I’m stuck with the sighs
There’s one thing to move on from, it’s a troubling fact
That keeps me from glowing on a pedestal uncracked
My hopes are still high I can relive better years
It’s just so unsettling, there’s no laughs but no tears
It seems that the past weighs a lot on my mind
With all these images and thoughts that remind
How much better I felt so long ago
But the present’s not the same as the past that I know
I remember the times when I wasn’t alone
Befriended by others, true colors unknown
Thinking the world’s in the palm of my right
But what I was thinking was not quite
The fruit of the truth grew and showed me
These lives were of crime and delinquency
The only people that ever showed me some life
Were living it dangerously, by the edge of a knife
It’s so sad things turn out like this
Anything would be better than this deep, dark abyss
Feeling trapped in a void, a personal hell
A place where happiness lies dead in its cell
Where joy and serenity await their abuse
It’s not by choice, feelings die without use
