What have I lost

Today I look back and decide to assess

I enlist all what I have lost in the process

Ending up in a lacuna is a possibility

Or I may convert this void into an opportunity

All the love and all the pride

All the tears I have cried

From being broken to holding together

I have lost my innocent forever

Setting the world ablaze

Staring into the flame to daze

Thoughts got hardwired and fixated

I have lost my emotions and got manipulated

Realism was at its peak

Imagination was ailing weak

In search of truth, facts and theories

I have lost the dreams and made them memories

In the process I held on to my hope

Tightened the grip to faith at the slope

Kept the fire alive and stood tall after the fall

Losing a few traits was not awful after all

I am the face of trust

I am an icon of shine in the rust

I am the lighthouse for those who are lost

Happy to lose for social benefit's cost
