lost
my life is not a joke
no it’s not a good definition
my life is a sad poem
heavy with repetition
one day it might be read
in some school class
filled with teens eyes glazed in boredom
maybe there was a meaning at some point
but it was lost in time
lost in words
lost person
lost
About this poem
Life is compared to a joke but I don’t think it fits.
