out of body

I’ve been feeling out of body,

As my path has begun to shift,

Like I’m watching a strange movie,

And I’m the only one in it.

am I ignoring the waves,

to go my own way?

or is it just my excuse,

cause its hard to stay-

being in my own skin,

hurt more when I was a kid,

and if that’s true,

why am I still chasing lucid?

its like I became a numbed out robot,

press play and ill perform,

ill watch me act right next to you,

for it is not forewarned.

I wake up in dazes,

My prayers go half said,

In spare moments there’s music,

I don’t let thoughts go in my head.

To say I’m running,

Is an understatement.

More like swimming with all my strength,

To escape the current.

Life’s some short years,

The journey isn’t long,

I don’t recognize myself,

But I never even belonged.
