Lost by Venres



Hello.
What is my purpose?
What is your purpose?
What do you do, day in, day out?
What do you do, with your life?
Every breath in, every breath out?
What keeps you driving?
Why do you look forward, what keeps us thriving?
What keeps me looking ahead,
Back to the path I once fled?

Hello.
What is my purpose?
Where is my purpose?
Where do I go to, where do I drive?
What is my destiny?
Set up, a needle pointing to the dive.
Am I meant to be someone?
Aimless walking, an endless marathon run.
What am I meant to be?
What am I?

Hello.
What is my purpose?
Am I meant to be a great soul?
Am I meant to be a leader?
Am I meant to lead a group a whole?
Who do I lead?
Do I lead people to their victory?
Do I lead them to death?
On our way to write history,
Or to our last breath?
Where do I lead?
Step for step, closer to defeat.

Hello.
What is my purpose?
Where do I have to go?
Has destiny set a path for me?
Time moving eversteady yet slow.
This path, where has it gone?
With no way in sight,
Hopelessness devours the dawn.
A light, the tiniest shimmer,
in the far distance and middle of nowhere,
Slowly growing dimmer.

Hello.
What is my purpose?
I can't see the path!
The last ray of light, can anyone see it?
Not going down without a fight, never having to quit.
Where is the light that is supposed to help me find my way?
Are you my light?
Can you keep my thoughts at bay?
Help me win the fight?
Who are you?
You in the distance! Answer me!
barely inside the view,
Are you destiny?

Hello.
What is my purpose?
Are you my light?
Can you bring me back to my path?
I have lost the way.
Am I supposed to stay?
What is this madness we call life?
Does it ever end, do we ever thrive?
How can I be happy, like everyone else?
What does it cost?
What is my purpose?
Hello, I am Lost.

About this poem

I write this poem a year ago when I was really down and thought a lot about suicide, now I recently reworked it a little and despite still not being happy with it, I'll publish it anyway.
