In Need of a Compass

I am running out of people to cry to

And words to explain

This void inside me

Show me another way

To express this pain

In ways that can be useful

To myself or this world

Draw this path out for me

Throw me into it and elaborate

Because I am so lost

So lost

And I do not know how to find my way back

To where I need to be

And are we always this lost?

Is this the reality of adulthood?

Is it the true beauty of it all,

Finding a way to smile as time passes us by

Every holiday or birthday

Less meaningful in a world full of disappointment

And despair

Riddle me this, enlighten me

Why am I so worried about the next moment, that I keep missing the one I stand in right now

And the next one

Give me a moral compass

A direction

I am so lost

So lost
