lost.

Kinda strange, a little bit funny.

the one who was there, the one who cared

finaly left to go away

the other moved on, made a new home and family

she tried but fails each and every go

constantly competing with the demon inside

tells her she'll never have that kind of life

listening to the old songs

painting scenes that exist only in memory

she needs someone to open up the blinds

show her the views she never knew she'd see

so scared to be content, always thinking it'll end

she backs out, her flighty side wins again

lullabies scare her, thinking she won't wake from sleep

what if the world spins too fast

she'll be left behind.

if only there were a way she could silence her mind...

sometimes she envies the deaf and the blind

they've no choice but to trust.

a faith within herself would suffice

but that's a lesson that can't be taught.

maybe one day she'll graduate the school of hard knocks..

till then she rides the waves, trying not to miss what's lost.
