Style: Poetry
Writer's Statement: “Lost” is a poem that I wrote to represent the daily struggle of being a forgetful, very busy person who is always looking for something. I titled this poem lost to represent the two aspects of losing something, the item being quite literally lost, and the more connotative meaning of the constant feeling of being “lost” in this struggle, trying your hardest to stay organized and know where everything is and still day after day constantly misplacing things.
I lose every
thing
I do it
a lot
Must make my phone ring
Where it was set
…I forgot
From swimsuits to shoes
All dear to my heart
It’s all old news
Te aring my room a p a r t
My mind is
s c
a t
t
e r ed
All
over
the
place
My life in t at ter s
Because my things are in space
I try really hard
These habits won't flee
They aren’t on my report card
But are just part of me
Please don't be mean
I'm trying my best
It's got to be around here somewhere
now time to stress
