Lost

I'm feeling so lost right know I can't tell what's right or left north or south east or west right or wrong I sit here lost I'm my emptiness of my life and soul where did I turn wrong where did I lose my way my compass is struggling to help me find the right directing lost in the struggles of my mind never to be found people can't begin to imagine my struggle I've lived threw so many wrong turns so many times I've had to retrace my steps so many times I go to give up so many time I sit in one spot in my mind and think for days and days I wonder why this compass can't help me I wonder why the north star has misguided me I'm tired of having to start over again month after month day after day night after night it's a wonder why I haven't just given in yet and just sink into the lost abyss of the darkness called my life

Your writing appeals to me Joel, and I suppose this is what Poetry Soup is all about, I just joined today. I think you must be very young, wait till you get to my age, let me assure you the struggle never stops, but believe me it is worth the journey. One learns and grows with every step.

A lot of emotions in this poem, Joel. Wow..it's like you just opened up the ink well and let the words just drip onto the page....I want to welcome you to Poetry Soup...this is a very supportive group of poets who spur each other on in learning ways to improve their poetry and having fun along the way. I am officially rolling out the red carpet! ....Gwendolen
