Lost

for a moment she loses herself

in a dream, a figment, a lie

guided by one unseeing

guided by one so blind

for a moment she loses herself

trying to right the wrongs

an impossible feat

for her efforts she receives

not the redress for which she longs

for a moment she loses herself

her turmoil worn like a veil

and consumed by desire to rectify

allows her own madness to prevail
