Lost

Been lost these past few months,
Don’t know what to think
What to say
How to act
Just feeling lost…
Lost in thought
In feeling
Lost in space
Lost in time
A frustrating state of mind
There’s no peace of mind,
Stuck in time
again…
A mellow feeling
Tempting feeling to do better
Be better
But can’t
Understandably so,
It’s okay not to be okay
But is it really okay?
If forward is the only direction,
I want to go back
Back to the time where I was free
Full of life
Of independence
But now I’ve forgotten
Forgotten what it all meant
What I’m living for
Why I matter
Hurt in copious ways,
I forget how to breathe,
Emotional pain ferments physically
Blades pressed against my skin
Blood...
The hunger erodes me
Looking for...
Starving for…
Love
Is that the missing piece?
The answer?
Or was I blind?
An abundance of unanswered questions still remain...
