Maryam Jameela Haniff Poet Free verse

Lost!

Lost!

Can't think
Can't write
In the darkness
need some light

Mind's in a whirl 
in a twist in a turn
in a chocolate swirl

Can't find my bottom
can't find my top
don't know where to start
don't know where to stop

Can't find my way
don't know what to say

I'm upside down
I feel like a clown

Who am I?
Where am I?
Where's the world?
Where's the sky?

What's the matter?
Where's all the chatter?
Where's everybody gone?

Am I the only one left?
Is it only I 
that's left to die?

Debbie Guzzi January 8, 2009 at 5:02 PM I will tell you what my counselor said when discussing Death. She said are you afraid to be dead? I said no. She said so you're afraid of the process of dieing. I said yes. She said well, you've been dieing since the moment you were born. Why worry now? Light & Love Debbie Guzzi

Jerry Bolton January 8, 2009 at 1:59 PM You couldn't have written a better poem to suit my needs today than this one . . . For two weeks my wife has been in and out of hospitals . . . Alzheimer's I'm afraid . . . It has been topsy-turvy . . . Thank you for saying what I've been thinking . . . By the way, it was done superbly too . . .
