Loneliness is now foreign, as self-destructive vest I once wore
Oblivious of monstrous foes as friends, I opened my doors
Summer, Fall, winter, Spring; pizzazz I knew was vaporized
To see me; who knew me, tears would well within your eyes.
Lost my sight, my sprite, my family who helped fueled my might
On bull dagger highways, byways, and beat down buildings, I lost rights
Somebody ought to tell somebody, please don't ever venture there
To think your world has come to an end, meant no roots to declare, but
Love does bloom in warmth; silence! stillness, such priceless gems
Overhead skylight oozes rain song that'll soothe your soul, and then...
Song becomes prayer sans shame; you'd weep, hoping to stay alive
They said I arrived looking lost; then soon became cute butterfly.
Lost in midnight dreams, with me in clothing I had already burned
Only waking redressed me from haunting, to new haven I was in
Someone ought to tell somebody, do seek and venture therein
Today I am lost; stepping through multiple mirrors of no harm.
Love will find you when you're lost; its sensors' deep in our heart
Out and about, I'll forever stay lost in endless maze of gratitude
Sunshine and rain, fire and ice, I'll lose myself to warm pool of recovery
Take away my pen, my sheets of white, my glasses; I'd lose me to recovery.
