Lost Days

[Free Radical]

lost days
potential never used, forgotten
mistakes i couldn't afford
there is only bittersweet nostalgia
for a time which was golden
when i knew myself
and everything fit
into its proper place....
but these fanciful memories
don't even exist
a worthless sentimentality
seemingly meaningful

it's as if i don't know how i got here
and i don't know where i'm going
so i just keep trudging
going forward with no direction
into the blackness
into the unknown
but it's all there is to do
when the sun sets

....and you're still not home

fuck

i wrote something whiny without even realizing it 8)

it does well at capturing the feeling of "being lost", however.



.....and i just critiqued my own poem. lol
