Distant

Feeling out of place? Sometimes I feel like the only one.

By MICHELLE SMITHPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Feeling trapped within this hole

Is there light within my soul?

No one knows or even cares

Feeling distant and in despair

All the chaos just keeps twirling

Falling and falling

Can I get off this ride now?

A tornado blowing through

Being pushed aside and more distant from you

Why won't these feelings just go away

Distant from all I love

Distant from those who love me

One day I'll wake up and it will all be a bad dream

This feeling I hope won't last forever

Prince charming will come waltzing in

I'll be swept off my feet

No longer feeling distant and defeat

For now, just hold your head high

You will survive

Don't be too distant but don't get too close

Girl you've got this, and you know it the most

We all tend to fall for a man/woman who we think is our prince/princess. We move too quickly instead of taking it slow. Just a reminder to not rush things even when you think it feels right. Take time to get to know one another no matter how lonely you are.
