"Lost In Space"

 

 

   "Lost In Space"

 

Faces lost in their own space.

People cold...all hope displaced.

Faces frozen, all feeling gone,

No one safe from hurt or harm.

 

Look at the faces...

As they wander by.

Inner trappings

Alone they cry.

 

Daily struggles of death and life,

Thoughts of pain...and inner strife.

Trapped in space...locked in pain,

Too hurt... to try over again.

 

Sad faces dwell...

Everyone hiding,

From their own

Inner...hell.

 

Just walking through life alone;

Waiting for God to call them home.

Thank you very much:)

Terrible that some misfortunate souls are born into bad luck right from the start. Nice write on truths that society looks on

Like all lost people, they have to be the ones to reach out; they have been given freedom to choose and until they are ready to be found they will continue to be lost...as I read this piece I think of all those who are lost because of others: the physically and mentally abused, those with birth defects which have left them unable to make 'good' choices, those who have been pushed aside because they are not understood...

Lack of education today puts many people on a lower scale. Not all can afford college. My nephew went 4 years and cannot find an opening in his field, so he works in a car factory. A family of 4 or 5 with things so expensive often do without or live on welfare. Life can be very sad for some. My dad had 9 children and worked 2 jobs to make sure we were fed and clothed. Kathie

Sometimes we try too hard to pretend that we are perfect and have perfect life and everything.
We all put on happy faces at times when we are feeling nothing inside.

But everyone is hurt and that is what I have been through when once I told my friends about my depression it's funny and weird that they left me, so now I realize that many people are fake.

Nobody wants to talk about it, they just run away when you tell them your issues and when you need them they just ignore you.Now I believe it's better to have no one rather than surrounded by fake people living a fake life.
Thank you for sharing this poem ;).I always love your work... :)!!!

Life can be hard my friend.
"Just walking through life alone;
Waiting for God to call them home."

They are waiting for God to call them home! That is great but, couldn't they be a touch proactive among themselves to show the Lord that we are still praising you Father?

This refers to the lost people on the earth, not God's children. Kathie

Ah, I see. I mis-read your message.
