Lost Among the Living

Trapped living in the moment
And trying hard to please
Everybody claims they have the truth
When they're driven to their knees
So don't go asking me for help
I'm still trying hard to flee

So here I am almost hidden
Away from all this confusion and strife
Lost among the living
Trying so hard to find
I'm caught up in the crossfire
Without an escape clause here
Just lost among the living
Where god has disappeared

Each waking moment
Each day that drags slowly on
I confess my short comings
For what it's worth I'm almost done
Feeling so blinded
By all the worthless words
I have no expression
Or the strength of mind to be heard
So what's my options
What is your point of view
I have no answers
I don't know what is the truth

Guess I'll keep searching
Though I doubt I'll ever find
That illusive moment
When the answer becomes so refined
It's lost in the translation
It's written in so many ways
But I am illiterate
I can't read what they say
So heaven help me
I have nowhere else to go
I'm trapped here in transition
With another revivalist rodeo

Guess I must be dreaming
I have nothing left to show
And if there really is a god
I reckon he's left us all by now...

    Definately a poem that makes a person stop and consider their own battles with doubt and frustration. I think it expresses something that most can relate to from some time or another.

    Thanks for your entry

    I am sorry you did not survive the judging of Level Two: Theme. I like your poem but you have yet to put the main idea in your author's notes.
