Lost

crawling I can't really figure which way to go
the idea of my palm in the sand
my hair blowing about my face
the memories don't even seem real

I find myself mimicking each and every movement
repeating my words like there's a broken record
inside the deep and echoing confidments inside
my mouth

these words
their not mine

these movements
I can't control


I figure it's the way
this world was meant to be

the time has come where it all crashes
nothing I do, nothing I've ever done
makes sense
I can't find a meaning
there's too many gaps
crevices in this realality

...

lost

    Unique. Unusual Take.

    inside the deep and echoing confidments inside
    my mouth

    Unexpected use of the word confide. I would like to see you omit the second
    "inside" and use "of my mouth." I wondered is your meant "confinements" and then decided you created your own word. I think, not certain, you might want
    and "e" as confide has an "e" in it.

    Dear Poet

    Thank you so much for entering my contest semi-quickie prompt:"lost," with
    your submission "Lost."

    i like to point to possible hiccups as i myself like to correct any in my work.

    "crevices in this realality" did you intend "reality?"
    you may edit if you'd like to white ink your entry and im with title and contest "Lost."

    if you so choose, i'll be pleased to add you to the finalists.

    i felt "cold holes" creep upon me where you have "crevices." it may be more of
    what you mean, maybe not. just what i felt.

    wishing you the best
    till then
    stay
    liquid
