I am lost to distractions
The factions
Of struggling actions
Working in tandem
To confuse my emotions

I am lost to exhaustion
Fatigue so deep
That when I rest
I still lose sleep

I am lost to knowledge
And all the wisdom I gain
For each new thing I learn
A world opens up
And I find that my infant mind
Must start anew

I am lost to emotions
Creative waves
Of random feelings
Directing me
To see what cannot be
Unseen

I am lost
Backtracking
Down back roads
And broken alleys
Taking the wrong turn off
The best journeys
Are unplanned

I gain so much
From being willfully lost
