Lost In Translation

LOST IN TRANSLATION i have become the page of a book stored neatly away on a shelf the others have their own little nook they all know where they belong all cataloged so they know where to look this library is immense but they'll still find their way the other books are often checked out the practicalities their pages concede i guess it's easy if your understood i'm written in a language no one can read my best intentions are lost in translation so distrust the advice that my words may heed they wont work for you cause they didn't work for me a book with no cover and no title page some chapters are missing what's left fade with age paper ruined by my ink belladonna blackened beige
