Lost .....

By Zhee

I seem to have lost something, somewhereÂ…
A piece of self,
In this anarchic existence,
A defining moment
In this temporal whirlpool,
My one original idea
In the realms of despotic conformity,
The fractured pieces of belief
In this corrosive dogma of despair.

Yes, somewhere along this pathÂ…
My skin became numb
To the rents of frozen tears,
My shadow turned away
From the reflection of my gaze,
My last aching breath
Vaporized into the oblivion,
And my soul and I like strangers
Solemnly parted waysÂ…

Yes I seem to be bereft...
I splintered as I walked,
I crumbled all the way home
And realized I wasn’t who I wasÂ…

In this nebulous dominion
I walked and yet I was boundÂ…

I never knew what became of me
I was lost and never foundÂ…

    Another great work and that is merely an euphemism! Feeling lost, feeling like we don't have a place in this world, like foreigners of some distant reality. But that will only tell how special we are. Don't forget that. If we feel that we do not belong, it's because we are rare.

    This is a wonderful poem. It has a lot of detail and all of the words just sound so good together. It has a good flow and it is a great expression of the way that so many people feel. Like somewhere along the way, they just lot themselves and they don't know how to get back. It definitely reflects on me and who I am and it was a very touching poem for me. Thank you for writing it.
