If I Wander…

If I wander does it mean that I’m lost?
If I question does it mean I’m confused?
And if I’m silent does it mean that I’ve got nothing to say?
Or simply nothing to prove.

Here I am again, never thought pain would be such a well-known friend,
Never thought that the world would continue to spin,
Or continue to do anything when nothing makes sense-
Never thought that the darkness would understand
Or that the shadows would hold my hand-
Yes, I'm lost again- and I feel fine.
