Analysis of Lost



Don't you feel so invisible
The lost child
The one nobody pays attention to
You beg for some type of attention
Get into fights, so just for one second,
Even if it's yelling,
It's about you.
You always are so nice.
Even though so much anger builds
You've had so many ideas
Ways to get more
And you've done so much
Had such a success
Am I right?
So if you succeeded so well,
Then whats the need to kill?
It's the exhilaration
And adrenaline
Of the complete annihilation
Of everyday life that gets in your way.
That one last breath, makes up for every breath they missed.
Every cut they've failed to notice,
All the signs they just chose to ignore.
So here's my last note
The last time I'll help.
Cause you prayed, and your savior finally gave you the will.
That last push needed.
And you quit, taking it so easily.
So finally I am done cleaning up your mess,
But you never realized
You've always had my eyes,
My complete attention.
You f*ck*ng hypocritical failure.
           I always f*ck*ng loved you.
