Lost Child

A lost child wanders alone,
Wondering why the world is so unkind,
Searching his thoughts trying to find a home,
But yet can’t help but feel confined.

A lost child wanders in the dark,
Trying as best as possible not to be seen,
While actively trying to make his mark,
Can’t help but wonder why everyone is so mean.

A lost child begins to lose esteem,
Confused, but he was taught to be strong,
Fears bottled in so you can’t hear him scream,
But tries his best to move along.

A lost child learns to accept what he cannot change,
And the differences in how people behave,
While at the same time his life he begins to rearrange,
Slowly taking the journey outside of his cave.

A lost child becomes a man,
No longer afraid of the big bad world,
His past he tries to forget as best as he can,
With the help of that special girl.

A lost child’s biggest fear,
Greater than going back to being an exile,
Is the realization that a world that doesn’t care,

Will always produce another lost child.

Today

Today I woke up feeling scared, afraid to face the day ahead,
Was it something I did, or something she said?
Was it the realization that all good things come to an end?
And enemies are sometimes made out of the best of friends.

Today I woke up feeling scared, not able to see tomorrow,
Was it something we did that caused all this sorrow?
Was it the realization that true happiness is not real?
And the side effects of sin are the only emotions we are allowed to feel?

Today I reflect on my past and all the mistakes I have made,
All the people I may have hurt and those whom I have betrayed,
Was it the realization that a dear friend has passed,
And for his family the pain will forever last?

Tomorrow will eventually become today,
And today would have become the past,
Live today as if it is your last,
As there is no guarantee you will see today.

RIP Kirk Williams
