The Lost Self

I’m lost in the world,
Scared to death,
Problems making me whirled,
I’m holding my breath.

I’m a lost human, can’t find my way,
Lost as a girl, as a woman,
Struggling each and every day,
I want to find peace, if I can.

I’m lost in my own confusion,
Lost to humanity, lost to love.
Is it my illusion?
That I don’t feel free like a dove!

I lost my smile,
To come back it may take a while,
Lost in the crowd all alone,
Reality of life is what I’m shown.

I lost memories in mind,
Lost my family,lost my soul
Left me confined,
With a heart hole.

Lost in my own emotion,
I don’t know what to say!
Having faith is my notion,
I left my frustrations at bay.

I think I lost myself,
When I lost my hope,
But I need to make a name for self,
Even if with anxiety and stress I’ve to cope!

I lost my sleep,
In my thoughts so deep,
Blessings is what I want to receive
A lot in life I need to achieve!

-Ava Tripathy.

  2. SMiLes Kindest People in Life Are Often
    That Way For the Darkness They Experience
    In Their Life For the Nurture They Give Others

    As Darkness Will Surely Make Us More Sensitive

    To the Feelings of Others Understanding the Depth

    Of Grey Scale Life One May Move Into so Far

    Away From Vibrant Colors To Feel And

    Sense As Kind As You Are And

    With Such A Bright

    Smile in Your

    Photo As You Do

    So Aptly Capture The Experience

    Of Depression In Your Words as i Have

    Surely tasted the Darkness in Fact Driving

    Me to All These Words Leaving Darkness Behind

    Now For 88 Months As Art Surely Colors My Soul

    In Dance And Song Flowing Free In Fact

    i Was Just listening to a Talk On

    Healing Depression

    With Art Therapy

    So If You Do Experience

    These Challenges You are Wonderfully

    Still On A Correct Path for Healing Expressing

    Your Challenges Allowing Others to Freely Support

    You This Way Many Folks Experience Depression

    In Their College Years And Science Shows

    Your Generation Z at 18 Years-old

    Is Experiencing Stress

    And the Depression

    That Comes

    From Stress

    Greater than Any Other

    Generation Yet.. The World

    Is Surely Moving at a Fast Pace

    Yet the Art of Your Soul You Share

    With Others Does Endure And Light

    The World With Your Feelings And If these

    Are Your Challenges It is Great at Least Folks

    Are More Accepting of these Shared Challenges

    For Providing Support As Yes So Many other Folks

    Are In This Place of Challenge That You Cover So Well

    As i’ve

    Surely

    Experienced

    All These Challenges

    In Life A Greatest Gift

    Of Life Is Change and Like

    My Mother Once Told me This too

    Will Pass i had lost my Hope And Did Not

    Believe Her Yet She Still Stood By my Side

    And It’s True When my Friends Get Depressed

    i Will always be there

    For them even

    When They Feel

    They Are Worthy

    Of No Love or Support

    in Life and Only A Burden

    To Others The Blessing of

    Darkness Indeed often What it

    Takes to be The Last Friend Standing

    For Others When They Need Most A Hand Remaining

    A Voice Of Kindness True Much of My Light Comes From

    An Original Place of Darkness Then As True Without that

    Darkness It’s Unlikely i would have ever Written At All

    Gaining an

    Opportunity

    To Meet

    Kind and

    Creative People

    Like You All Around the

    Globe And Yes You are my

    First Generation Z Poetry Friend

    Smiles as A Public Dancer though

    I surely have Danced With Folks 4 Decades

    Younger In Generation Z Yet In Dance Rarely

    is Any Conversation Relayed Haha some

    Folks Were Surprised That i could

    Talk At All And Others Were

    Blown Away

    With

    How

    Fast And

    So Much That

    Came Out At Once

    With Smiles Sort of Like

    A Hurricane it seems hehe..

    i Guess

    Like

    This With SMiLes

    Yet Really it’s safe to

    Say i am a King of Pain

    Before i Become A Lover oF LiGHT

    As The Air Force Psychiatrist Who

    Took Care of me After 11 Years of

    Chronic And Acute Stress Just Tore

    Me Down to Nothing Said i was His

    Most Challenging Case Ever Through

    All the Military Combat Fatigue Cases He Saw

    But i was only A Federal Employee Always the

    One Folks Said Could Handle The Stress Best with

    A Smile on my Face But They Couldn’t See My Soul Suffocating within

    Smiles You

    Always Have

    A Friend on

    This End

    In Thick

    And Thin

    As Long as You

    Come Around on Friday

    Night As Friendship surely

    Includes No Barriers of Differences..:)

    1. Reading this was of great help actually
      Now I really feel from heart that feeling depressed sometimes is okay and others feel it too.

      Thank you so much sir for sharing your personal experience. Helped me a lot to understand that everyone has their own bad time, and as your mother said I will always remember “this shall pass away too”

  21. it felt someone expressed my feelings in words.
    what i wanted to say but was unable to find the right words.
    this is feeling of hollowness.
    Even when u r surrounded by people the feeling of loneliness that creeps on you.

    1. It’s actually okay to feel down sometimes in life and not be able to share it to someone.
      Life is not a bed of Roses afterall

  24. You have a natural talent to open your heart and soul to create such incredible poems Ava!! I used to live in the heart of the western most rocky mountains on the west coast of Canada. The white peaks poking through once the clouds or mists of fog disappeared were so stunning. I miss the show they put on. My heart is in my chest but my soul is still tied to those mountains.
