Writing Prompt Wednesday: “Lost”, an original poem

an idea of who you should become

who you would become

what you want

too much work to get there

fighting on and on

a battle neverending

destination always slipping from your grip

mirage on the horizon

glimmering and shimmering

to vanish at your touch

the maze twists and you run

and it brings you back to the beginning

each step brings you forward but the world

moves forward faster

so exhausted

need a rest

need not to care

spontaneous freedom ached for with

bitter desire

unfulfilled
