Feeling unparalleled
Uncomfortably disconnected
Baffled in one's own still reality
Sitting in a chill hollow theater
A sharp lit lantern glistens from above
Frying the lid of the huddled mind
Sore eyes glazed over
Watching a hushed movie called life
The characters known and their euphoria
The whole story just seems absolute
Only to one's imagination glasses
Seeing the whole kindled screen
The still beating heart can tell something is missing
Cheerless eyes start to wipe off the fake
Each drive of coral to the heart
Opens truth's glutted box
The one watching is the missing
The story was never whole
For the characters were embedded in life's credits
And the one watching was forgotten

Feeling unparalleled
Uncomfortably disconnected
Baffled in one's own still reality
Sitting in a chill hollow theater
A sharp lit lantern glistens from above
Frying the lid of the huddled mind
Sore eyes glazed over
Watching a hushed movie called life
The characters known and their euphoria
The whole story just seems absolute
Only to one's imagination glasses
Seeing the whole kindled screen
The still beating heart can tell something is missing
Cheerless eyes start to wipe off the fake
Each drive of coral to the heart
Opens truth's glutted box
The one watching is the missing
The story was never whole
For the characters were embedded in life's credits
And the one watching was forgotten
Last year (2011), I was really disconnected from reality. I went through a lot. This was my thoughts. But I am happy to say my outlook on life this year has been great and it got me to write again.
