LOST
To those of you who feel lost and without guidance
He looked over the morning sun
only to see the end of the day
every moment a battle
every second a fight
not of physical pain
but of the deeper sort
young in heart
old in mind
trying to live
but willing to die
with lungs full of smoke
he turned his future to ash
blood, sweat, and tears
he forged his own
blessed but cursed
a victim and a villain
accused but not guilty
a reflecting god
with no faith in his creation
at the end of the day
I am me
and god is everything
this path is mine to make or break.
