Lost and Found
My real name is Lidia
but for now I am Lost.
My feet do not quite touch the complete bottom
of the empty hole, of the deep ocean,
of the mold I am told to fit.
My mind does not quite grasp the concept you have repeated to me
endlessly for fifteen years.
Instead I carry it as a burden
on my weak shoulders,
falling apart
slowly.
Carefully, silently
unwinding.
I am not
free.
So for now I am Lost...
but maybe someday you will call me Found.
