Lost

I'm lost
and I can't
find my way

I'm trapped
by words
I can not say

Somewhere along
this path I lost
who I am inside

And behind this
smile is where
I hide

When I look
in the mirror
I don't like
who I see

I never seen 
that person before
That isn't me!

I'm an angry person
inside and out

I don't like 
who I am
without a doubt

I miss who
I was before

I don't want
to feel like this anymore

I've hurt people
not knowing the cost

Not knowing I 
would become Lost

Life has a way of taking our actions full circle until all we can do is really just sit down and take a hard look at ourselves. Nicely done Tiff, look forward to more.
