Post-college works... FIND ME

JAN/20/1999

FIND ME

Nothing.

It is totally dark.

Not a sound I can hear.

Total silence.

I move about in this world.

All is familiar and yet...

I am lost.

Where am I?

I am a soul lost in himself.

Trapped in a self-made labyrinth.

Wherever I seem to turn,

I never seem to get anywhere.

I see faces all round me sometimes.

Sometimes I hear voices too.

I know others are around me.

But I seem to be always alone.

Why am I here?

I do not know.

Run! Jump! Cry! Hide! Wait! Pray.

What do I do now?

Please help me.

It is cold and dark.

I think I am lost.

Please find me.

This was my first poem for 1999.  Fresh from graduating college in November 1998 and trying to find a job, I was lost..  I really didn't know what to do with my life at the time..  But the current me can't help but wince in pain as this piece easily cuts through my heart brought about by the turmoil in my marriage...
