moving on

I’m feeling disconnected

I don’t know what I need

I’m feeling lost and lonely

I want someone to see

I’m drowning in the desert

I’m burning in the sea

I’m running with no purpose

Can’t run away from me

No, everything is ok

You see, everything is fine

I don’t know what is here inside me

That makes me want to run and hide

To scream until I’m silent

to hit a wall of glass

to completely disappear

is this too much to ask

I feel like I am empty

I remember when I had

The strength to stand I gave it away

Like I had more than I had

I’m just feeling disconnected

I don’t know what is wrong

I thought I had moved past this

It’s been going on too long

    Relatable. Too familiar indeed.

    This is a familiar feeling, sadly. Well done, my friend.
