Lost

Somedays

I don't like the way
this world talks

valuable lines are left incomplete
while empty words steal the exclamations

your emotions
hide behind an ellipsis

people don't finish sentences for you anymore


Somedays

I wish this world had more like you

I don't know what you mean
when you say
-It's all gonna be okay-
but hey, I don't want to know
what you mean

because

sometimes

lost

is a good thing to be

i like the emotions hiding behind the ellipsis...

and generally the unfinished sentences at times might be better...because if we really get the entire essay, we may not like what we read, or what we see of that person.
Better to be lost and confused than understanding what is said and disappointed.

Totally agree; and a very apt interpretation. Thank you so much for the read and review :)

"while empty words steal the exclamations" WOW
I love this piece, it is so raw and when dissected it is so relatable. I feel lost all the time and sometimes I enjoy the feeling. Sometimes those unfinished sentences can help mend the heart back, it gives closure without the feeling of closure.

A lot of people say '-It's all gonna be okay- ' because they have no other words to address sorrow.
Better at times to be lost in our own thoughts than to be like most of these talking heads who think they run the world.
We can complete sentences...but it depends on what you have been sentenced to...and by what court...
these days it seems to be the court of public opinion that rules.

Good one Zoya.

The court of public opinion - that's a nice one. I really appreciate your reviews, Ted. Thanks a lot!

I feel drawn to this poem of yours - it's like a yearning for more and yet still knowing that everything is just as it is. I like the way you have composed the lines - I like the plea for a better now ... it makes me linger ... I like to linger - well done

[Zoya]

Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm glad you could connect to it :)

Being found is indeed largely overrated.

Truly said. Thanks for the read. I appreciate it.
