 Lost
You say you felt lost
Implanted it on your skin
Did you feel trapped inside yourself
Somewhere inside you, deep within

Looking across the water
To see the shadow of a unknown
Scared to look to see what it was
Was it then you started feeling lost and alone

You were looking into the shadow of yourself
Running from whom you could be
Afraid to look deep inside your soul
Dreading at the things that you might see

Was it a future that you did not know
Or a past that you wanted left behind
Could it be the two bringing you to yourself
Inside you it becoming intertwined

A past that you were running from
Or future that you were afraid to see
Was it you saying leave it behind you
Yourself begging you saying please come with me

If you knew that it was helping you find yourself
Would you have not feared looking into its eyes
You would have seen it was everything you were
Everything in shadows yes, but you in disguise

You felt lost in your journey so far
The dark figure looming in the dark of night
Bringing you to a future you did not know
A future where a spark was waiting to bring your light
