As annoying as this song is (IT IS SO OVERPLAYED!!!!), it's the song of this chap.

Lost Boy - Ruth B.


I, Dragon,

feel extremely

lost.


With words,

with writing,

swimming,

my life.


I have

no motivation

to continue on swimming—

I hate it now.


Maybe it's only because

all my friends are leaving

and the coach is pushing us harder,

plus a whole generation of kids

are growing up and going off to

college.


Maybe.

Or maybe I am just ... lost.


Writing,

something I've been doing since I was

five years old,

has escaped me, my locked grasp

and flowed away into the wind,

leaving me with an empty hand.


Should I write?

I think to myself.

Should I not?


Questions I ask myself

on a daily,

trying to figure out

how the answers can be found.


Or maybe,

I am the one who needs to be found.


Sure,

friends on here encourage me to write,
