Lost

I feel bleak

Weak

Alone

Adrift in the dark

Without a map

Without a guide

Without the voice of another

To tell me I’m here

 

I hear sound

Muffled

Outside

 

A passing car

Midnight truck

Going their way

Yet all I know

Is in this room

 

I think back

Snow

School

The memories road

At the start in a car

Faceless drivers

Never seeing them

Timeless destination

 

I feel boxed

Caged

Distant

Unable to touch

Unable to remember

Unrecorded moments

Losing their way

I can’t seem to sleep.

Exposed
