And I am Lost Once Again
by Britt ZimmermanHe doesn't know me like he thinks
Nobody does
Even I am losing my grasp on reality
The "Real" me...
the one inside this shell
Changes come so fast
I am out of breath
no time, no room
to rest and feel the world rotate
Turning the pages so fast
I dont have time to comprehend
Just words on paper
and before I can repeat them in my mind
They are edited, revised,
completely revamped
Evolution of mind and body
brings revolution of my soul
Flowers wilt and others grow
in their place
wrapping vines and roots,
stems and thorns into my heart
Lust screams its gusty winds
around me like a hurricane
and love stands quiet in its eye
seeing me through the battle
And I know I will never be the same 11/13/2002 Author's Note: Sometimes I feel like I have pushed so hard to be the person that I want that I have lost the person that I truly am...does that make any sense???
