Lost My Way Poem by Joshua Hillard

Lost My Way

This generation has years to come,
I close my eyes to face this one,
Dreams are remedies, a life to live,
So what do I got to give?

Heart so young, pure, and sweet,
But these shoes are off my feet,
No more miles to walk on end,
Because I have no one to call my friend,

In a beautiful field lathered in trees,
I watch as Autumn sheds their leaves,
A vision to life as you gain and lose,
So many repetitions in which you cannot choose,

A dog eat dog, which side you pick,
If no choice, you end like this,
An eternal loop of pain and guilt,
To structure a life from what you built,

No pity to all, only love and care,
A quality to some, so hard to share,
You watch the destruction of one's own soul,
Empathy sparks, wishing they were whole,

You break in pieces, ready to leave,
For life is gone, the Lord you seek,
The trees will grow a season next day,
But tomorrow is now, and I've lost my way...
