I Feel Distant

Sorrow bears down upon my soul

Reminiscent of a physical blow.

Years later and I'm still reeling

Have yet to pick myself up off the ground.

Forever it’s the same old sting.

My eyes watering, my breath stuttering

My inner flame withering.

In the distance; I am just a solitary island

Squatting in an ocean slowly submerging me.

Society. Humanity. Community.

Are not the companionship I seek.

And the world is not the home I need.

Shall I sink and endure the sea?

Can’t I find a way to make my fantasy a reality

In a way the cures my impending insanity?
