Drifiting Away

When you're alone,
you begin to to realize yourself
on a whole different level.
You find out that you
are not who you think
is actually real.

You find things you never knew,
despite all the memories
pinned to your heart.
All the years you have
lived for, do not even
matter any more,
because honestly,
what does?

After a while your thoughts fade into
dreams and nobody knows what has
happened to you
and all those crazy thoughts,
scattered in that ol'
noggin of yours begin to bring sadness.

But we do know that you
keep believing they are real and
a whole new world comes into view
and it appears like everything
you've ever loved,
hoped,
kissed,
and known,
are diminishing right before your eyes.

Until then, just in that moment,
your mind takes you in,
sweeps you away,
and you're gone forever.

And then, just sitting there in your
own solemnity,
you question your being and your mind,
your heart and soul, and you ask yourself,
What comes next?
