Lost in Thought

May 23, 2019
By Anonymous


A lot of me is lost.

Battling to replace these terrifying thoughts.

Caving into my fear, trapped here.

Was peace ever near? Will it reappear?


Oh dear, I don’t know if we know why we’re here

Oh my, too deep, please stop thinking


I know how dire it is to remain breathing,

But it feels as if my peace lays with me ending.

Im broken with addictive tendencies

Tripping on hallucinogens, now your suffering.


Oh dear, I don’t know if we know why we’re here

Oh my, too deep, please stop thinking

 

A lot of me is lost.

This tribulation traps me in a box;

Feelings unspoken next to these empty matchboxes.

That burning sensation turns to numbness.


Oh dear, I don’t know if we know why we’re here

Oh my, too deep, please stop thinking




The author's comments:

This piece was written during a time in my life where I was struggling with depression. Music has always been the best way for me to clear my thoughts. My favorite band is twenty one pilots so I decided to dedicate one of my poems to them explaining my thoughts and fears to thank them for allowing me to push through them.
