NaPoWriMo Day 11

Hello!

The prompt for today is to write a poem that uses song lyrics, and the example that inspired the prompt is also a villanelle style poem.  I decided to use both suggestions for my poem today.  At first I thought this was going to be difficult, but when I picked a song that I really love, (Un)lost by The Maine, well the words just fell easily into place.  Enjoy!


I'm not looking to be found
I know myself and where I want to go
I just want to feel (un)lost.

I love the view I see
finding joy in life today and hope for tomorrow
I'm not looking to be found.

But I know something is different with me
the path I take is not one other's follow
I just want to feel (un)lost. 

The longing for someone to join me on this journey
who sees and understands the parts I keep hidden below
I'm not looking to be found.

My path a coddiwomple to what makes me happy
twisting and turning, going to and frow
I just want to feel (un)lost. 

A simple life of joy where I'm free
with optimism for the future challenges I'll undergo
I'm not looking to be found
I just want to feel (un)lost. 


Thanks for reading!
