I am going to try something new today. Someone on Tumblr did this challenge a little while ago: “Describe a feeling of being lost in ten words.” I wrote a couple examples, put them in a journal and forgot about them. Until now! Here we go:
Wake up terrified.
I don’t know
where I am going.
***
Driving away from your van
not looking back at you
***
Blindly creating
putting it out there
for everyone to see
***
A pit in my stomach
for all of the unknowns
***
Free falling hundreds of miles
When I’m here sitting still
***
Yours? Add your ten-word description of “lost” in the comments below.

Going nowhere
No direction, no reason, no meaning
why bother
—
No matter which direction I look
Its all the same
—
circles and turns
curvy wurvy
I’m going everywhere
and nowhere
We are certainly related.
:-3
Living for my own self
without regard for any other
nice one! Thanks for contributing cloudborne.
no door, wrong floor
which stairs, who cares
no exit
Stuck in circles,round and round,there it goes-nowhere.
I went here,
there, everywhere,
lost that’s what I am
