I'm surrounded By family And friends And people And places And objects And I see them But don't feel them Don't feel their connection to me, and mine to them Not when I'm like this Not when my mind is here Not there with them and all that is That is where it should be But it's hard  You know I hope you do...I hope someone does Then I could feel them I don't want to feel the heaviness I want the light shine and weightlessness of joy I guess you don't feel the rock underneath you, like you do when it is overhead Funny how that is We strive for joy and love and peace, but the pain and sad is what sticks And gets us stuck I hope I'm not stuck And I don't think I am...really...but I worry

Just cause life's electric doesn't mean the lights don't flicker
I'm surrounded By family And friends And people And places And objects And I see them But don't feel them Don't feel their connection to me, and mine to them Not when I'm like this Not when my mind is here Not there with them and all that is That is where it should be But it's hard  You know I hope you do...I hope someone does Then I could feel them I don't want to feel the heaviness I want the light shine and weightlessness of joy I guess you don't feel the rock underneath you, like you do when it is overhead Funny how that is We strive for joy and love and peace, but the pain and sad is what sticks And gets us stuck I hope I'm not stuck And I don't think I am...really...but I worry
