Dedicated to Nish Soni (one of Wattpad's greatest poets) because he reminds me of what its like to write, and also because he's my all time favorite poet, inspiration and bestie!

*Lost In Words* :

Reaching into the numbness within

And pouring out from the deepest depths

Emotions disguised as words

Words spill out as ink

While I begin to get lost in words...

Trying to locate my wandering mind

Hoping to find my lost sanity

Simultaneously making  a miserable attempt

To gather my scattered thoughts

I'm lost in words...

Feelings gripped play a tug-of-war

Thoughts swirl in my mind

Emotions suppressed, beg to be freed

From the heart caged in despair

While I'm lost in words...

As I pen down this turbulence within

The numbness begins to crack

Emotions pour out in crazed desperation

And fall into the page as words in a beautiful chaos

All while I'm lost in words...

My peace returns in silence

While the battle with myself subsides

My mind regains its sanity

And my soul begins to heal

Simply because...I was lost in words...

-Aiyla
