I Want to Get Lost

by gasping for air   Apr 19, 2005


What has happened?
Why do I feel this way?
Where did these feelings come from?
How did I let them in?

All I want to do,
Is cause myself pain.
Make all of the hurt,
Disapear.
I want to forget,
What I should do.

What has happened?
Why do I feel this way?
Where did these feelings come from?
How did I let them in?

My arm is itching,
To thrust my fist into the wall.
Make pain shoot,
Through my wrist for weeks.
And then do it,
All over again.

What has happened?
Why do I feel this way?
Where did these feelings come from?
How did I let them in?

I want to get lost in,
my own world.
Get caught up,
In some kind of drug.
Get drunk,
And pass out for hours.

What has happened?
Why do I feel this way?
Where did these feelings come from?
How did I let them in?

I just want to get lost,
In a dream world.
Where I don't have to deal,
With all of this shit.
Where I can be stupid,
And forget everything.....

    "What has happened?

    The repitition of this stanza was excellent and portrayed how most of us feel sometimes. Not many of us know how we got this way, or what happened to let us turn out this way. You explained it and worded it perfectly.

    "I just want to get lost,
    In a dream world.
    Where I don't have to deal,
    With all of this shit.
    Where I can be stupid,
    And forget everything....."

    However, this last stanza was the best of the poem. Except, where you say, "Where I can be stupid." I don't know if thats the word that you wanted to use, but to me it seems like it doesn't fit. When I saw it I instantly thought, "no, it should be, 'where I can be me, or myself.'" Again, just my opinion. (And I'm not saying you're stupid, thats just what popped into my head as I was reading it)

    Anyway, this poem was incredible. Kudos.
