I drift along a quiet river
settled there a sometime ago
my face reflected in hazy water
a distant memory of what I used to know
lost in the warmth of my own soul
caring for myself
drifting alone
not seen nor heard
nor even loved
not belonging to a life
not anyone
a selfless image of a perfect nobody
overlooked yet still sane
I drift along the fragile water
I drift along a hopeless pain
rocky stones beneath me sit
as I quietly pass along the abyss
my heart aches to be once seen
a gift of life is all I need
a starlit night shines through bright
as I drift alone on a dreary night
where to go you tell me
someone please tell me
