About the Poem

This is a poem I wrote pertaining to what I knew would happen if I really did talk to this certain person about what's happening to me.

Lost

by Larisa

I stared past my preacher
as he lectured me,
tears poured down my face
I knew what this was
I needed no lecturing
I only came to him for help
all I needed was moral support
I looked into his face
I knew what he was saying,
(the same as everyone else)
though I heard no words
I only cried harder
I understand everything
I don't need people to tell me what's wrong
he seemed to be my last resort
he was the only person I had left to turn to
and he had failed

I was deeply saddened by this poem. I am sorry that you feel these feelings. I knew that I wasnt the only one, I've just never met another who had the same feeling of aloneness that I had. Beautiful work!

This poem was really pure. It showed how people like me turn to the last person and they let them down. I loved this poem because it describes me, while I can't write poetry. Thank you for writing this poem and showing all people that life isn't like a fairy tale- always having a happy ending.

i liked this poem 'cuz it kinda shows how i feel,when you try to talk to the right person but it doesn't work out the way you wanted and then you feel lost.

This poem was not meant to be beautiful,or good. It was a message of feelings and it was well thought. I like the poem on the scense that i do as well understand what the pastor is saying but I choose not to listen so I feel he has failed me. I'm glad that I'm not the only one.
