Lost

This feeling of uncertainty
Not knowing where to go
I am lost in my own body
Going against the flow

I can see the future
And what it means to me
But keep coming up empty
Still wishing I were free

This prison that I am in
Takes me deeper every day
Spiraling into oblivion
Tossing me every way

I can not yell or shout
For everything stays inside
I try to scream for help
But instead decide to hide

Into the darkness I fall
Searching for that spark
That will free me from my grave
And remove me from the dark

If this is reality, I want out.

This is good, but I have a suggestion.  Don't force a rhyme.  Just say it.  Good though.

Normally I don't like rhyming at all, but did for some reason You have a good point!

We spend our whole lives trying to live, only to realize that we don’t know what life is truly about until it is too late.

This is a good poem, I agree that rhyme can sometimes be bad, but it worked here I think.

It is only once we realized our true selves, that we can realize how to escape our fears.

Nice piece, I have a couple of pieces that describe this very familiar feeling.

Something beautiful comes out of sadness I suppose

This is very good.  Isn't it funny how we can hide our true secrets from the watching world, yet give us ink to soak parchment and the depths of our emotions bleed freely?!  I like this... I think we've all been to our depths more times than we care to tell.

Thanks! It is true that we can write how we feel, but can never express it otherwise. Very wierd indeed!
