Lost I am!

Lost I am………………

Amidst so much of routine and the chores of life.

Home - the four guarded dungeon walls

The ceilings and windows leave me with frightful qualms

Caged in fate………………lost I am

The disregarded soul in me cries

Questions one after the other arise

“What have you become” asks the reckless mind

I close my eyes - No answers come outright

Unable to respond…………….lost I am.

I flip the pages of book……….not wanting to read

I need more pals than him for sure

I sit by the window and peep outside

The world, for once seems to allure

I reminisce the days when I belonged to this horde

Being “Me” in this enormous crowd

A pang shoots through me and I hold on tight

Trapped in the crunch…………lost I am

And I wait........

That Someday I can leave it all behind and see

when I bump into this woman in me

and I get back to what I have been

The day hope knocks my door

then I know I’ll be lost no more………

Awaiting the day …………….lost I am!!!
