I lost myself
Temporarily
Somewhere along the way
Between daydreaming
And self-discovery
My thoughts did go astray.
Spiritual compass compromised
And mentally so weak
My heart remained steady
My thoughts,
Discreet.
I seemed to be spiraling
Out of control
Treading on the depths of insanity
Desperately
I clung to faith
Only in silence
Did I weep.
Wearing the mask of courage
Yet feeling frail and meak
I tried to fill
The void in my soul
But failed so miserably
Still I carried onward
Attempting to mask the pain
I no longer had a place
My grace gone
Replaced with shame
Mind like molten lava
Body tattered and bruised
My heart heavy
My soul lost.
I lie alone
Naked
Scared
Confused

I lost myself
Temporarily
Somewhere along the way
Between daydreaming
And self-discovery
My thoughts did go astray.
Spiritual compass compromised
And mentally so weak
My heart remained steady
My thoughts,
Discreet.
I seemed to be spiraling
Out of control
Treading on the depths of insanity
Desperately
I clung to faith
Only in silence
Did I weep.
Wearing the mask of courage
Yet feeling frail and meak
I tried to fill
The void in my soul
But failed so miserably
Still I carried onward
Attempting to mask the pain
I no longer had a place
My grace gone
Replaced with shame
Mind like molten lava
Body tattered and bruised
My heart heavy
My soul lost.
I lie alone
Naked
Scared
Confused
