Lost Not found (response to a quote from V.E Schwab)
“Be lost, give up, give in. In the end it would be better to surrender before you begin, be lost, be lost, be lost and then you will not care if you are found,” - V. E. Schwab; Vicious
I
“Be lost, give up, give in….”
I am lost
A ghost girl in a big world
A spirit tossed
A spirit obscured
It is easy to hide when no one wants to see
The suffering; the lost soul never heard swimming in the sea of her mind
I am lost at sea
My legs grow week my arms shake
Oblivion seems so close but so far away
II
I swim and swim and swim
Lost at sea knowing no one is coming
No one knows i am gone
No one knows to look for my struggles
I hide so completely that like a ghost
No one sees me hide everything completely
As in my mind
I swim and swim and swim
my arms ache and my legs weep
III
“...In the end it would be better to surrender before you begin…”
No one is coming
No one is coming
No one is coming
Sink or swim
Sink
Or Swim
IV
When you cant see the shore
When in an endless sea
When no one is coming
Step up decide surrender or
SURVIVE
V
“...be lost, be lost, be lost and then you will not care if you are found,”
I am lost at sea
No way to be found
I swim no shore to see
An endless sea
But i do not stop kicking i do not stop

I may never find the shore
I may always be lost
But i will never know if i surrender
I keep my head above the water
despite the cost
I do not need to be found
No one can find me but i can find
The shore
I can survive
