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.
