Lost

In a crowded room of blurred faces and drowned sounds
Detached from their incessant ramblings
Lost in an abyss of absolute desolation
Disguised by a mask of smiles

With powerless screams that no one can hear
Exuberance fading in the fight for relief
Suffocating in thoughts that fogs the now
Using analgesic games to mask the defeat

The lies of optimism mocking the pain
Leaving a crushed soul apathetic to life
Unwanted memories and tainted dreams
Death escapes the torment of being
