Lost

I am the lost one Wandering from city to city Street to street Like a leaf adrift on the sea of life Once someone loved me And gave me a name Now I have become nobody I want to say look at me here I am We don’t have to talk I know you’re busy Smile nod your head I need to know I am still alive Not just a ghost walking briefly through your day The nights are cold, but the stars keep me company I tell them my story and they listen The darkness keeps my secrets I do not like the sun It takes the shadows away Leaving me no place to hide Too many eyes can see me in daylight I prefer walking at night Amid the solitude spun like a web Under the trees Once upon a time I wasn’t lost I had a home clean sheets friends and family Never understood how I lost myself Is there anyone looking for me?
