Aimlessly Adrift

Disconnected from the people and the things that I hold dear On a course through time and space I wonder what I'm doing here Black miasma overwhelms me paralyzing life and mind I feel like I'm the piece that's missing from a puzzle I can't find Cold stagnation ever seeping ever creeping in my soul All my yearnings and my longings keep me in this deep dark hole With the knowledge that I'm drowning in a pool of my own fear Aimlessly adrift, I wonder what the hell I'm doing here

I found this to be sad and hope that you are not in a dark hole and there will be light seen and felt soon. Well written Michael :)

I have been going through some challenging things lately, planning major changes in my life this year. But it's not as bad as all that. Thank u Heidi for your kind thoughts. :)

This one made me smile, as you have expressed some of my most powerful feelings in such a way, that I can feel them.
