I sat on the farthest bench from my parked car Across the fluffy fields Next to a companion i knew for only months She leans slightly towards my ear And points at a girl dressed in floral scarves and stones around her neck My companion Whispers “she looks lost” She didn't mean lost As in direction She meant lost Within herself She said that four letter word With despite Almost humorous was she in her tone What is so much better about knowing yourself? Answer me this Would you rather? Would you rather Decide on the person you are now Destroying free room to elaborate To see new perspectives Close your eyes and be satisfied Or would you rather Decide you are lost Not let the past define you Venture down different paths Open your eyes wider And blossom into the all-knowing Being lost should never be deteriorated. It’s those who are lost Who find all the answers

The L word
I sat on the farthest bench from my parked car Across the fluffy fields Next to a companion i knew for only months She leans slightly towards my ear And points at a girl dressed in floral scarves and stones around her neck My companion Whispers “she looks lost” She didn't mean lost As in direction She meant lost Within herself She said that four letter word With despite Almost humorous was she in her tone What is so much better about knowing yourself? Answer me this Would you rather? Would you rather Decide on the person you are now Destroying free room to elaborate To see new perspectives Close your eyes and be satisfied Or would you rather Decide you are lost Not let the past define you Venture down different paths Open your eyes wider And blossom into the all-knowing Being lost should never be deteriorated. It’s those who are lost Who find all the answers
