Lost and Awake
What I thought was revolution.
Was actually simple confusion.
I left a message and went missing.
And with that my mind had gone fishing.
For hope that someday someone would follow.
But for now I swim in a pool that is hollow.
Hello? I call and my voice echoes with fright.
But I bounced back quickly and felt delight.
For I am alone for no one to send me to sleep.
I miss my mom, so now I weep.
And then I forget all over again.
A treacherous wakefulness, I take for a spin.
