Random and very original... It's perfect.

You've captured the emotions of feeling truely lost perfectly... confusion, all the things that aren't expressed, the underlying despair, fear and sadness masked with indifference.

Wow... I wouldn't change a thing... It's just as it should be.

Sounds like someone who is lost, and found, then lost again. Good job with it. Would make a good short story if you put a story line to it. But then again, being random is a art all in itself.
