Lost
I lost myself that winterI fell out of myself
which made me lose that grip on my sanity
its almost funny
that I have seemed to misplace me
That night the light inside me died
like
the bittersweet ending of a sunset
for me the sun did not again rise
the sun finally dipped out of the sky
and thats when the light disappeared from my eyes
It seemed like forever I swirled down that dark cold
forever falling
with nothing there to reach for
nothing there to help me pull myself free
I almost grew content
with all my self-loathing
yet the farther I fell
the colder it became
finally i decided it was time for a change
I had finally reached the bottom
and could have gone to no further low
so I began to make myself again
during that next winter's snow
I do not claim to now be complete
for a notion such as that can only be imaginary
everyone is constantly finding ways to improve oneself
and there will always eventually be a time that you will need help
I just will claim one thing
and that is I found that I was never gone
i was there in my pocket the entire time
what had actually happened was i had just lost my mind.
I found it though
I promise
