Drifting

Falling from the world
while you're still in it.

Leaving everyone behind
while remaining amongst them

Letting go while you hold on

And nobody sees you
drifting

dying while still alive
reaping the sorrows you've sown for yourself
instigating pain in yourself and others
for reasons mainly unknown
tired and worn out by too many fights
irritated beyond belief because
nobody sees you
graciously dying inside
