I’m lost in a maze of confusion
I search for a way out, a way home
A way back to the comfort of my loved ones
There are lights and bands and strangers
People laugh and sing and celebrate
As though everything is fine
I cry, I plead, I search
No one sees me, no one cares
No one points to the exit that I need
I leave one room only to enter another
My desperation grows, I need to escape this nightmare
I want peace, stability, normalcy
The holiday atmosphere around me grows
The party gets louder and louder
My distress becomes frantic
Finally, the disease overtakes me,
Everything goes black
I succumb to the insanity of the labyrinth
Help me, I’m lost!
Help me, I’m lost!
PLEASE HELP ME!
I'M LOST!

I can feel an emotional struggle of hopelessness and loneliness in this, but it almost feels as though there could be a physical struggle with some type of illness hurting the quality of life. I definitely get the lonely and lost idea you were sharing because I have lived it. I like the poem.
