Lost Paths

Sometimes you have to lose yourself in order to find yourself. Lost Paths I know this place, yet i feel so lost, I know these people, but they're strangers. There's plenty of life, but its drought, Everything's fine, but feel danger. The air smells so sweet, but tastes so bitter; Its clean here, but full of litter. I see fine, i feel blind I'm looking for something, but what do i find? How long have i been here? Lost in this deep puddle of fear fear that follows, stays close near i must get away from its gaze so leer This abyss of darkness has opened my eyes I must leave here before i get consumed by these lies. Finally i am able to introspect contemplate what it is i seek this world is too perfect, it's imperfect Tis its perfection that makes it bleak. I have been engulfed by the flames of inferno Entrapped, in the fallen angel's bosom I must isolate myself from this infinite chasm Rather i be a loner than a mourner. I know this place, yet i feel so lost I must take whats mine and leave fast. I run, run to lose myself, run with my only possession, my heart, i run to find my self, find a new place, a new start.

There are many different paths on this road called "life", but often when we become lost, we end up finding exactly what we were looking for. Sometimes, that journey has to be taken inside ourselves and not on the outside!.... I really liked this poem a lot! It's very expressive, introspective, and deep. Amazing work, Rohan!
