Gone

Hold me,
I can’t find my feet,
Hug me,
I can’t feel my skin.

Life was once a friend,
Holding me close,
Now life is a foe,
Shooting arrows,
Blocking my way.

Who am I?
I ask the birds,
What am I?
I ask the seas,
None seem to answer,
As I wander the earth,
Running away from life.

Then I realized,
I was lost because of my past.
My usual has been snatched.
Myself, I no longer can find.
Lost in the winds,
Lost in the dark.
Lost in the mystery
I have no answer.

As I wandered the earth.

Running away from life.
