Lost, Not Found – Saturday 27th September 1997 (Aged 22)

James Garratt,

Lost, Not Found

i am lost, not found
i have been living under the weather
but not underground
i am encased but i am not biased
and i am basically sound
i am in your hands
I have given you a book to read
but mine does not take away choice
and it will not capture your need
but i am alright in the day
just occasionally a little down
i am lost, not found

      2. My poems / writing / stuff – particular when I was younger was an intensity – it was taking moments and feelings and really magnifying them – I wrote quickly in part for that reason. Hopefully you’ve been found as well – I am sure you have 🙂

      3. You can feel the intensity in this… and a quiet urge not to ‘lose the moment’.
        I found myself… that is the greatest gift (and piece of work) I ever got (done). 🙂 Everything else is a bonus!

      4. It’s very intense at this point – I actually like this batch of 1997 poems – I’m 22 – clearly very young and a bit immature, but there’s something I like about these – they’re unashamed and in parts very hopeful.
