Lost Searching


c

Up and down

All around my mind goes

Spinning out of control

All I see is moving shadows

Spiraling, falling, plummeting,

Going down, down, down,

The blackness is drowning

All throughout the town

Never ending tunnel of darkness

Fear of being lost forever

All one big mess

Here is to the never

Haunting words and faces following

Complaints and failure 

All I hear ever

Always being the traitor

Never meaning to hurt anyone

Trying to help everyone else

Always doing my best for everyone

Never taking time for myself

Lost in the darkness

Wondering aimlessly

Hoping for happiness

Searching around with no sight

No feelings, no hope

Just looking for the light

Drowned by darkness

Searching for myself
