LOST

The Inspiration I received from the poem Wanderer
By Nabanita Paul

LOST

I'm a wanderer

i wander lonely, lonely in my thinking

lonely in my walking, always keeping my eyes ahead

never looking behind, never to remember what i left behind

i wander through the dark streets searching

searching for what i do not know for i am a wanderer

i am a wanderer

i wander a great distance

i expand my mind and look past whats just in front of my eyes

my eyes, my eyes do keep to wandering

never stopping, always looking forward

never taking my mind of the path that i wander on

always looking, always seeking

seeking what i truly don't know for

i am a wanderer

i am a wanderer

i wander lonely, lonely in my thinking

sometimes i feel my feet sinking

my mind slipping and I'm still wandering

wandering closer and closer to the unknown

always keeping my eyes forward never to look back

always seeking, for what i do not know

i am a wanderer

always keeping my eyes up

trying to see the distance

seeking for something that might never be found

but that is what i do,  i wander lonely on the path

the path that i keep to

never to leave

never to turn back

never to remember

the past is gone, erased

and i still wander

i am a wanderer

i wander lonely through the forest

the forest of forgetful dreams

forgotten wishes never to come true

a darkened path leading to damnation

a hell of my very making

i feel my feet sinking deeper and deeper

through the pit of despair

my mind is slipping

turning into a clock ready to stop ticking

and i am forgetting

forgetting what i was seeking

was i seeking for anything in the beginning

i know not

i only know i am a wanderer

i wanderer through the crowd

the faces always looking down

i wonder what they are thinking

for i don't think for myself anymore

i keep my eyes up and forward

never seeing those right in front of me

i am stuck on the path

seeking for what i know not

but i keep searching

i will keep searching

until my time runs out

until the ticking ends

and i am free

free to fall in my pit

free to enter what Ive created for myself

what i willingly created for myself

i am a wanderer

and i keep on wandering

wandering a great distance

seeking for the unknown

looking for a hopeless dream

forgetting everything meaningful

forgetting myself
