LOST
Standing naked
Nothing left to hide
All my secrets, my lies, exposed
Yet my face bares no shame
Have I forgave myself
Or I have forgiven others
Have I been desensitized
To the point of losing myself,
my being, my wholeness
as a human
My arms stretched out
My head tilted back
My mind, heart and soul,
all join in, in perfect harmony
as I scream to the heavens
What has happened to me,
Why can I not feel this pain
Why can I not hurt
Have I committed such hideous crimes
against my fellow man,
against the Savior of my soul,
That I have been condemned
to feel no more
With no answer,
I drop to my knees,
My eyes are hollow,
Hollow like those of the old man,
who sees no future
And remembers no past.
