Analysis of Forever Lost

Kayden Phoenix 1980 (Houma)



Each day that passes on
Finds me frozen in life's maze
Navigating the twists and turns
While remaining in a daze.

No one comes to aide me,
And no one hears my call
With no light to guide me;
Only hoping not to fall.

Tripping here and there
I stumble every step I take,
And the feeling of remorse
I feel none shall make.

My life isn't free
With it so high a cost,
So now I find myself
Never found; forever lost.
