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

Jason Palm Date: 2/2/2017 7:37:00 PM 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.

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.
