Forgive Me, For I Have Lost My Mind

Have you ever been lost
In your own subconscious
Afraid that you can’t find yourself again
And the voices in your head
Are your only friends?

Have you ever been lost
In someone’s eyes before?
Or in their embrace?
Have they ever been real
Or are they just there to make you feel real?

Some say being lost is scary
Some like being lost
Others welcome being forgotten
Most want to get back
Most just stay lost

Being lost isn’t that bad
In your own mind
When you can only hurt yourself
Becoming nothing but fear
That’s when you’ve lost your mind
