Being Lost
Being lost in the space around me holds no fear
not since I was five
and because I was too scared to climb trees then
I got to know my surroundings real well
at ground level
But being lost in another person's eyes
is still real scary
and it doesn't matter how well I know my own heart
that type of lost never fails
to surprise me
Being lost
is about being brave enough
to surrender to the unknown
in the first place
a bit like free fall
with only your pyjamas
for a parachute
And most times
you realise you didn't need one anyway.

- that's rather appropriate for your situation - something my subconscious may have had in mind when I wrote it, P.
