Lost

Running through a building
Every way is wrong
Always someone there
Telling me I can't go that way
So I go the way they say
And someone else yells
And tells me to go another way
So I go that way
And someone screams again
Then I go my way again
More yelling
Stop screaming
I'm lost
I keep trying
Panic builds up in me
Running through the building
Tears streaking my face
And still they yell
More and more people
Yelling
Pointing their fingers
A hundred different directions
Running in circles
Getting nowhere
Lost
I'm so lost
Everywhere I look
Someone yells
I can't take it anymore
I stop in the middle of a huge room
And sink to weary knees
Screaming and crying
And people pass by
In wide paths from me
Whispering about the crazy girl
Who couldn't find her way.
