Analysis of lost

Jacqueline Beard 1986 (California)



lost in a maze,
drowning in an ocean,
stuck in a trance of mixed emotion,
caught in a tornado,
my world sipping 'round,
trying to keep my head up,
only to keep falling down,
trying to move forward,
yet only to fall back,
my mode always set to attack,
love is something I truly lack,
I wish it would end,
all the suffering and pain,
but day after day its just the same,
and I'm the only one I have to blame!
