LOST

I have a pen in my hand but a pain in my heart Pain of a puzzled brain that can't see what to write Emotionally stricken from the start But hoping for sunlight at midnight Am in the slime, no home no fortress Staring at black and white, upside-down portraits I see a dark shadow stand tall Now am wondering who's behind the closed door I go up but drop like moments on a seesaw So my heart clenches fists of violence I lose hope can't cope the torments of a freefall And too loud is the noise of silence So I pinch my skin and scream Like seeing a phantom on a screen No peace like peaceful scene I've seen Of a stone at the bottom of a stream coz I keep revolving round my lonely circle Entangled in my own thoughts Hard knocks from the strikes of echo Imprisoned in the bleak of my own faults Am locked in agony from dawn to dusk So my shadow abandons me when the light fades Striving to figure out who is behind the black mask And the time says am half past dead I see two lights from a distance Igniting my hopes, lending a shoulder to cry on But it is all plight of a disguise Because what I saw were two glowing eyes of a lion Painful words written in a dark room Like stepping my bare feet on pieces of broken glasses Cold and bitter is the gloom Because the fire is gone, now I see grey ashes Written all over me is shame and scoff Like a once beautiful flower that petals have now fallen off So all I need is a hand and a torch till that bridge is crossed Because am in a land unknown it seems am lost
