Tossing In the Towel

Floating through space and time
On the inside now looking outward
High above life away from it all
Wanting to be alone, not a crime.

Drifting aimlessly with no map
Not a care in the world now
Just you and the silence within
Avoiding a world that can snap.

Silence is a valued treasure
Very few understand my view
My own personal world to live
Being just one is good measure.

Tossing in all your cards now
Not caring what happens today
Nothing here to worry about
Ready to toss in my white towel.
