Lost in Thoughts

You know those days when your 'thoughts' want to be left alone to chill..... :O)

Here I am lost in my own thoughts

running wild and free through my mind

Deafened by my own laboured breathing

I can’t hear anyone not even a sound

Transcending into the depths of my ocean

no one to steer me from my minds confusion

From all the whys and the where’s and the how’s

to the do’s and the don’ts and all of the now’s

Blinded by a nothingness protecting my aura

is this great feeling of enjoying one’s own euphoria

Yet all I can see is clarity a vision that stands before me

Planning my thoughts decide what my next move will be

or do I just lay here take time out and wait and see

Revelling in my anonymity hiding in my own reverie

Not having to speak or say a word to anybody

Enjoying my time I open my eyes and look around

Then the realisation comes to me that I’m in a place

right now where my thoughts don’t want to be found

I enjoy my solitude because I write and I like to be able to concentrate...I think all writers are like that.
I often do what you do...start out non rhyming as you did in the first four lines and then write in rhymes
I dont know why some of us do that...if must mean we are rebels haa...dont really like form down deep.

These are nice thoughts and you explain so well how you feel or felt and how so many others might too, I like this piece of writing very much.

Hiding away within ourselves is just what we need at times, that solitude regenerates our spirit and refreshes us to tackle what life has to throw at us....relatable, really enjoyed this one YB. Where you been, haven't seen you around much.

I've been using my creative skills in other areas... keeping me away from my writing... I'm still here fluttering around.... :O)

very well written and thought out piece , we are often times in these zones where we feel bewildered and perplexed by what to do and how to do it , we find comfort in escaping to the abyss of our minds however then we come to the conclusion that this escape is more of a impingement than an actual cure or fix . good write my friend

I can find so much in this poem that is applicable to my life. I absolutely love reading poems like that. I too, find myself lost in my own thoughts. And being so lost in my own mind that I am oblivious to everything around me. The scattered rhyme scheme was very symbolic of the scattered thoughts I often experience. I don't know if that was your intention but that's what I took from it :) And the end was so profound! "Not having to speak or say a word to anybody/Enjoying my time I open my eyes and look around/Then the realisation comes to me that I’m in a place/right now where my thoughts don’t want to be found" THIS IS MY LIFE. Fantastic poem!
