Disconnected…

It doesn't happen
over night it
creeps up
on us slowly
that feeling of
emptiness
a sense of despair

you are aware
of its presence
as the
numbness sets in
losing touch
with ourselves
drifting further away

going through all
the motions
each and everyday
longing
for a time
when things
weren't this way

simply existing
is just
not enough
being controlled
by emotions
that have now
gone astray

the purpose
you had
meaning you seek
seems pointless
in a world
so
out of whack

craving
a connection
praying for peace
reflecting on the past
stuck
in your mind
running in place

hopelessly floating
outside
of your being
grounded to nothing
unaware
how it happened
you just feel.., disconnected.
