Median

Living apart from myself So detached from my body, I’m a soul alone Life really feels like an ocean I’m far out at sea, and I’m made of stone The coldness surrounds my being My air is so dense that it’s clear The waves are around me but I’m not submerged The end of my tether is near Survival right now is pure luck I guess what is written will be Within my numbness I appreciate life Learning slowly to love what’s in me I value the paths that I’ve walked And I value the souls that were there I’m comfortable being alone And I’m grateful for all I can share I stand upon life’s quarter Uncertainty makes me smile So far I’ve made it up as I go But that might not work out in life’s next mile I have a list of to-do’s Many missions that must be seen through However, I just feel so distant Like a warrior simply paying his due Now, is a dreadful point in Time It gives nothing to Future or Past It makes everything one simple Constant Dragging you forth till your last I prefer to live within Space For within this Lost realm, I am found My prayers will keep me company I live surrounded, yet unbound.
