Who am i that is lost in the dark

Who can claim to know me

when i know not what i be?

Born in shadows living in light

where can i find my one delight?

Lost found and lost again

hunting seeking searching for some small gain

 

Lone i am though surounded i be

wondering a vast hall

with many levels hidden by all

 

lost and afraid

alone and frayed

 

I know not who i am

but for all before me

what can i be?

 

cast aside no better than a doll

trying as i might still bound to fall

 

a ghost i feel

being slicker than an eel

 

try as i may

my all do i give

time for the heart to be bared

in hopes by all to be spared
