Afloat
Feels like I’m floating
Yet… doesn’t feel far enough
I’m not here, seems I’m staying
To think… myself I can bluff
I cannot find a self I know
I’m finally lost
My shadows I can no longer follow
Once only was
I’m desperately… calm
There is a need for a no need
Everything and nothing to want
Yet nothing leaves everything to seek
Do you know me like I don’t
How do I find myself for tomorrow?
Did you know me like I won’t?
That me when only you will follow…
Almost like I’m floating
Who am I to want bluff?
I’m here…not staying
Will I know to be far enough?
