Lost

She lives in the depths of despair Is she wallowing there? Looking for which way to turn, she sees a sign and doesn’t Hide because deep inside, she’s still alive Walking, slowly, swiftly now Will she make it or be found? Lost in a world with no one to care Lost in a place she thought she could bear Following the road and she thinks of her head Filled with sorrow and dread Forgetting the past, dwelling on the future But for now, she lives in the depths of despair Knowing she won’t always stay wallowing there.

Nice write. I like the way you portrayed despair as wallowing there. And then ended with hope..."knowing ...won't... stay wallowing there. Welcome to Poetry Soup.

This is so intriguing, Dominek. I could not help but wonder if she remained "wallowing" in the "depths of despair." You have conveyed her confusion remarkably. Excellent poem! Best Wishes, Carolyn
