A Life Lost

Yesterday, I was dead.
The world shed no tears for me.
I was forgotten long before my birth,
But in being forgotten I was so free.
I had dreams that no mortal cared to know.
I had destinations that no mortal cared to go.
I live a life lost, forgotten and alone.
Someday I'll find peace,
If such a thing is known.


Tomorrow, I will live.
The world will not smile at me.
I had never asked for this sweet life,
And I should never wonder if I can be free.
What if this war of life and death was not to understand?
Will I grow wiser with time? Will I be a man?
I live a life lost, forgotten and alone.
Someday I'll find peace,
But can I make it shown?


Today, I will fade.
The world does not know me.
I live for nothing but life's offerings,
And through this one day I'll be free.
I cry myself to sleep more times than I can count.
My mind is filled with thoughts of endless doubt.
I live a life lost, forgotten and alone.
Someday I'll find peace,
And I'll call it my own.
