Done

Why run
Why fight
Hide in the dark
Ignore the light

Find shelter
Helter skelter
Embrace the pain
Let tears reign

Cruel sin
Don't give in
Hold yourself
Clutch your wealth

"don't let greed
Rule your need"
Don't care 
Won't share

Breath in 
With sour grin
Cover your heart
And keep apart

Now you're lost
That's the cost

Thank you. I have been the most peaceful I have ever been; it took getting lost to reach that place.

That makes me feel sad. I hate the moments in my life that I feel lost. I hope you find peace within yourself Candide.
