Slipping

Tell me,

Why is it

That I feel so distant

From everyone?

Friends,

Family,

Everyone.

I feel like a bug on the wall.

They walk by,

Tempted to squash me,

But they don't...

It's the polite thing to do.

Why does everyone

Have to be so damn polite?!

I feel invisible,

Unnoticed,

Unloved,

Unwanted.

Like I'm just another face in the crowd.

Going through the motions,

The ways of life.

But this doesn't feel like my life.

Everything I've ever known

Is slowly slipping away.

We're losing touch,

And I'm losing conciousness

Of what's happening around me.

Just going through the motions.

But what I now realize

Is that all aspects of my life

Are slowly slipping

Through my fingers.

That last line right there is pure genius.

I think everyone must feel like this from time to time...I'm always surprised to see that some people lose their consciousness little by little and don't even notice.

Wow.
