Lost Essay, Research Paper
reaching back for something that isn’t there
you suddenly feel you no longer care
your once soft feelings are hard as stone
and in your decisions you are now alone
pages ripped out of your book of life
the same as being stabbed with a butcher knife
there’s no direction, don’t know who’s the boss
you feel alone, you feel so lost
from an “A” to a “C” student you have turned
the ripped out pages have now been burned
you lost your smarts and you lost your mind
you feel stuck out, a one and only kind
everything sucks, but still you try
to find yourself an alibi
some good dirrection must soon be found
or you’ll be six feet underground
without a hope, without a chance
your life is gone in one quick glance
you picked the wrong door and must pay the cost
of being confused, and yet still lost
you see a relative, you see a saint
this beautiful sight makes you faint
love is overwhelming, fear is out of sight
you squeeze your loved ones, you hold them
then everything suddenly begins to fade
you find yourself in a very different place
then a ghostly figure approaches you
but his color is RED, not BLUE
your temperature quickly begins to rise
a lake of tears fill into your eyes
you’ve heard of this place, you know it well
you’re stuck down in the pits of hell
the figure tells you to sin, whenever
and not to trust anyone, never
he says to be mean, to talk in ugly words
after all the word “live” is “evil” spelled backwards
then, once again, things fade in a hurry
everything then becomes all blurry
a new, bright light shines into your eyes
it’s the kind of thing that makes you cry
you wake to see the morning sun
the visions and figures you saw are gone
it seemed so real, but I’m glad it’s not
because now I’m thankful for what I’ve got
no need to be scared, it was just a dream
just take a breath, you must redeem
though you can tell you’re home by the morning frost
you still have no direction, you are still lost
