That's What I Feel

That's What I Feel Ever wonder how a raindrop feels When it hits the ground Or what a drifter senses As he is nowhere bound Ever ponder of Titanic And those who didn't survive I oft times feel as they felt Although Some claim I am alive Chorus That's what I feel Like a lost fawn in the forest All alone Not knowing where I'm going No place To call home Searching for where I belong In a world Gone terribly wrong That's what I feel by Joan Donnelly Ellis August 11, 2016 (first draft)

Very emotional. The way this world is just has an uncanny means of bringing out very thought provoking feelings and messages. You captured that very well here. It's a powerful message that so few can grasp on to but you found the words to show it life. Thank you for sharing it.

Thank you so much Jason :) I haven't been on this site for 3 months- been living at a friend's doing the chores she can no longer do. Doctor says her time is almost up. Once she no longer requires my assistance I will return. May inspiration be with you so you can share more of your wonderful writings :) Joan.

I enjoyed this sad write - it expressed the feel of loneliness so well. Are you writing song lyrics? music, too? I can easily imagine guitars ... CayCay
