Lost

I wrote this in a matter of two or three minutes, as I laid in bed, trying to relax and fall asleep. The random musings of my tired mind...

I lay here, late at night.
Nay, 'tis early morn.
I'm thinking of you.
No, not of you
But of this and that.
I don't even think of these.
I think of nothing.
Nothing.
I am thinking of everything.
I am unable to sleep;
my mind whirs
in ceaseless storms of chaos.
Nothing.
I am nothing.
I no longer exist.
A shell, an empty body--
I am a blank mask,
seeing all
but never truly seen.
Incessant, pointless thoughts.
Countless dreams never reaching fruition.
I am alone.
Alone in my turbulent mind.
Where have I gone?
Lost
I've become lost in my thoughts.

Felt like I was standing outside a window. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who feels lost. It's almost as if you stole the words from my mouth. Nice job! You capture it just right.

[Elina]

Thank you so much! Yes, it certainly a great comfort to know that we are not alone in our strange musings. Particularly since it is so easy to believe that we are, in fact, alone.

[Devesh]

You're welcome. I like to believe I'm not alone, we all do, I guess. Something reaffirming is good. :)
