Lost

poem by: Chel Scott
Written on Aug 16, 2018 

Lost in a world of confusion,
alone in this spiralling abyss,
mind dumb, yet filled with emotion,
how can I be expected to cope with all this?

I can walk around with a smile,
and let everyone think I'm ok,
but they don't know that my soul is so vile,
or how hard it is to keep the demons at bay.

I will lose my mind, and never come back,
stare blankly at you, at the future ahead,
because my thoughts, my world, have all gone black,
I am breathing. I am here. But I feel like I'm dead.
