"lost"

i'm lost....By choice?
              By fate?
              By emotions?
             By love?
I'm lost... unsure
               not confused
               not puzzled
I'm lost.

I've said all i wanted, all i had to say
i expected a response, an utter sound
but got none
The words weren't wrong, 
or deep,
it wasn't even a riddle at all.
I expected a response...but got none.
An answer is all i want.
it doesn't have to be right.
it doesn't haveto perfect... just an answer.
it's what i need to settle my mind,
                      to cure my heart,
                      to fix my soul.
I'm not insecure,i just feel exposed.
what i feel now is like i'm without clothes
I feel naked,
         bare,
         vulnerable.
I'm out in the open, a sitting duck
My skin feels antsy, as i wait to be shot
So shoot me now, for i am lost.
